I had this handed to me as a non runner, purge bulb recently changed but does nothing because the fuel filter was blocked and the hose from tank to carburettor hard and kinked. Spray petrol in the intake and it fires.

 

So I decided to change the hoses (4mm outer diameter to seal in the tank holes) and have ordered some.

 

The thing is when I cleaned the tank out this bit circled brown was loose. I guess it is the return from the purge bulb? Does it fit from within the tank and the bulge formed bu the hose seal the tank> I'm guessing the filter fits on a continuous piece of hose to the carb?.

 

This strimmer appears to be a badged Husqvarna/Jonsereds/Homelite as the part numbers which I found correspond with Husqvarna offerings.

That piece you push into the return to tank hose as a belt and braces approach to stop the pipe pulling out of the tank, it is a bit of over kill really as the hose should be a tight fit in the tank.

Do you know if any 4mm hose will fit or is it special?

Not special, it used to come as a kit of three pipes they were different diameters, as you say it was sold by all the Husqvarna brands, the Husqvarna was known as a Mondo, the manufacturer was Poulon in the US.
