anyone repair their gas line connector? I've read where an "O" ring can be replaced in the connector, but when pushing down on the ball in the connector, I can't see any O ring or a place for it to go. Please help. Thanks

The o-ring is down inside by the ball on the female fuel connector. Easiest way to get it out is a dental pick. Or you can just replace the connector fairly cheaply.
