Need fuel line for chain saw.
wrote in message ... 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 |

I fly radio controlled airplanes with gas engines with the same size lines as your chainsaw, so managed to use rubber fuel line from the hobby shop... |
