Further investigation resulted in a discovery that the tiny fuel line
that s****s from the tank to the carburetor is dry-rotted,  and it
disintegrated into my hands as I touched it.  Hence I need to replace
that before going any further.  Only thing is, I can't really tell yet
how that lines gets to the carburetor.  It seems to s**** along the
side of the housing next to the tank and then it disappears into the
housing innards.  It appears I will have to disassemble the entire
housing in order to find where the end of the line connects.  That
would seem to be a major job, I say with despair.  Then of course I
have to find replacement line (or I guess tubing),

Hoping you might cheer me up with a helpful suggestion or two about
how to deal with re-fitting this fuel line, I will delay attacking the
housing until I find a piece of tubing, which I will now go seek.  Are
you there?

Thanks for your helps
