I have a small chain saw that won't start. It is a Poulan model 2075
and the fuel line has deteriorated to the point that the filter fell
off inside the gas tank.

My assumption is that flakes from the deteriorating line have got into
the carb and this is what is stopping it from cranking.

When I look at the online, .pdf manual they don't seem to list fuel
lines as an item that I can purchase from Poulan so, what I'm
wondering is, where would this type of fuel line be available?

It is some kind of plastic and measures about 3.5mm ( .136" ) on the
outside diameter.

Your help will be appreciated.

I just replace the fuel line on my 10 year old Poulan. It too became brittle
and the filter weight fell off. With the line just flopping around, it would
stall every time it popped out of the gas. What you really need to do is cut
off a piece of the existing line and bring it to a mower shop. Both the ID
and OD are important as it has to be forced through a hole in the body of
the saw and into the tank. It was a bitch threading it through this tight
hole and I mangled the beginning of the line until I was able to grab it
from inside the tank and pull it, so I would get a couple of extra inches
