Could this happen under certain circumstances....missing rebound rubber,weak springs etc. seeing as how the fuel line runs above the upward arc of the axle?

Looking at mine - if the fuel line was mounted correctly that seems very unlikely - more so if the strap is still in place.

Oh, there isn't (originally). That is just a length of split fuel line I have slipped on there to prevent the metal line from chafing or rattling against that metal piece.
