Thank you for the very detailed guidance. A follow-up question – when I look at the parts diagram, it looks like the teensy o-ring fits on the outside of the housing (possibly just behind the conical end). But apparently not. The fuel valve pin assembly has two o-rings (the teensy one and one of the larger) and the air valve pin assembly has just the larger o-ring. Am I correct? I just ordered two core plugs so I can’t do the job until they come in. As I stated in my opening post, the fit between my new fuel line kit (hose /bulb/end connectors) is quite sloppy (as in loose) where it connects to the tank. Replacing the o-rings and core plugs will not change the loose fit (I don’t believe). The loose fit is OK? as long as it doesn’t leak air or gas?
