Here's what I did:
Replaced the filter just before the carb.
Disconnected the hard line going in to the pump.
Bought a short piece of hard line with proper ends to screw into the pump.
Bought some clear nylon flex hose which fit the hard line well after applying a bit of heat. It was a tight fit after cooling. I zip tied it for good measure.
I taped the filler hole on a plastic gas can,made a cut,stuck the hose in and used the spout collar to cinch the tape. The hose was curly from being on a small spool, so I doubled a piece of copper elec. wire and put it in the end of the hose to keep it straight and at the bottom of the can.
Got her home, no problem, and was able to watch the fuel leave the can, go out the battery hole towards the pump.
