Default Older craftsman chainsaw fuel line keeps popping off...

Nothing keeps the line from popping off when it is weak. You would have to
use some sort of clamp or wire. I think however that this is an emergency
patch job which may be needed in a pinch. A new proper size fuel line will
fit snug and it would be unlikely to pop off.

You will get many more years of trouble free use, without the use of
clamps
or wire. Both of which will get you out of a bind, however for a fix,
replace the line.


What keeps the line from popping off without clamps or wire?
Especially after the line is weak?

You don't mean the glue idea from the OP, right?
