If you have a real Scott connector and want to change the o-ring, here’s what I do.

1) Clamp the ribbed part of the connector in a vice with the ears up
2) Soak the end well with favorite penetrating oil and give the end some gentle heat
3) Use something like a #2 Phillips head (or any tool that fits between/under the two ears as a handle/puller) and twist & pull the retainer out.

The retainer is only press-fit into the housing – once out you will see the check ball, spring and the o-ring. Replace the o-ring with a comparably sized new one, if you can find one that is Viton or otherwise ethanol proof, all the better! Re-heat and lubricate and reinstall the parts in the same order they came apart.

Here is the only photo I have handy showing the Scott connectors – the top one is the original style Scott. The later style McCulloch next down is similar, but it has been a while since I worked on one of them so my memory isn’t 100%.

Here’s one I did a few years ago.

I think I pressed it apart by inserting a rod thru the fuel outlet and using a torch to heat it up and melt the Gas Ola or whatever kind of sealer they used back then.

I use the new and improved connector on my Scott motors. Just shove the bare hose on the male motorside connector.
