Consumer Description

THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE IS WITHIN A FUEL LINE COUPLING SYSTEM. THE O-RINGS WITHIN THE COUPLING SYSTEM, WHICH HELP TO SEAL THE COUPLING, WERE EATEN AWAY AND GASOLINE SPRAYS OUT OF THE COUPLING. THIS LEAKING SPRAY OCCURS WHENEVER THE MACHINE IS TURNED ON, OR RUNNING, AS THE FUEL PUMP JUST KEEPS PUMPING FUEL OUT OF THE LEAK. CONSEQUENCES COULD BE A FIRE IF THE LEAK HAPPENS AT SPEED OUT ON THE ROAD, AND THE OPERATOR IS UNAWARE THAT THE GASOLINE IS BEING SPRAYED ALL OVER THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE AS OF YET-I AM RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM FOR A COMPETENT FIX. *TR
