    Hi there.
    I am trying to repair a WeedEater Featherlite Petrol Strimmer.
    The fuel supply lines are perished.
    There are two lines of differing thickness - one for priming and one for the supply.
    Anyone know where I might get some of this plastic (?) tubing.
    There are kits on eBay but they're all in China and hence a very long wait - even if they do arrive.
    I did order one from the UK but it turned out to be a Chinese vendor in disguise. Item never arrived.

    I was hoping maybe for a local supplier.

    Farmers co-ops,garden tool hire centre,small engine repair workshops..etc.

    Should be easy enough to source.

    Thank you for those replies.
    It turns out not to be as simple as I first thought.
    These tubes come in different diameters.
    The strimmer is very old and difficult to establish the correct sizes.
    I think I'll do as suggested and take the old tubes to the nearest mower repair man.
    Thanks again

    The diameters of the tubes shown in the links have diameters of 3mm and 5.5 mm. according to the description included. It should be easy enough to measure the spigots onto which your hoses are fitted.
