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.


So the oil and fuel has no bearing; in your thoughts.

You will not get good best result without a clamp or wire.

Would the line stay on for a few minutes, maybe!

The OP wants to stop it from popping off. (I cannot tell from here if
he is fifty feet up a tree, if so we send him up another saw).

The snug fit won't last.
