Usually you insert the fuel line from the outside in. Pull the line out through the fuel tank hole far enough to install the part that keeps fuel line from coming out, and then pull the line back out the way you just came in. Remember the fuel line should be a little thicker then the hole in tank, also after you install your stopper you can also install the fuel filter and then pull and push everything back in. If you need more help I would be happy to help you further. Good Luck Friend

    Thanks Danny, I managed to push it through, to get the cap off, by inserting a piece of wire coat hanger down the pipe. Was easy then. Now trying to get the new pipe in. It's a but rubbery so may try to source something better.

Fuel Line Replacement by SmallEng.com

  • The hose in the tank with the filter on the free end connects directly to the carburetor input connection.
  • If the saw is equipped with a primer, the output line from the carburetor connects to the suction side of the primer bulb (once bulb is collapsed it draws fuel from the tank through the carburetor to refill the bulb as the bulb refills).
  • The pressure side of the primer returns any excess fuel to the tank as it is depressed.

This is an example of a typical fuel system with a few suggestions:
http://www.fixya.com/support/r3706813-2_cycle_fuel_system_repair

Your basic model number is 600465. I only saw 11- prefixes used with 600465s, no promises I did not miss any. There are a few different suffixes with the 600465s. I think the suffix is on your saw immediately after the basic model number somewhere (On older Macs it is usually on the bottom along with the serial number. The dash of the serial is often the correct prefix). I must defer to you to find your exact IPL, here:
McCulloch IPLs
http://www.ordertree.com/modelinfo/McCulloch/139.59.htm


I chose "11-600465-09" as an IPL example:
http://www.ordertree.com/modelinfo/MCC/11-600465-09-MAC-4600-10%2F94-to-Current-IPL-211594/139.11-600465-09-MAC-4600-10%2F94-to-Current-IPL-211594.1.59.1.html

I find these helpful when getting into an area of repair I am unfamiliar with. Also all components are displayed and part numbers listed.

If you find different size hose a small sample of each taken to a local saw outlet should provide something suitable. Please ask how long they feel any replacement should be (usually 12" ample). HTH

SOURCE: Routings of fuel line to Poulan 14 inch chainsaw Model 2025

No drawings or pix, but will try for description--the line from the tank that has the fuel filter is the main fuel source which goes to the upper connection on the carburetor. The lower carburetor connection goes to the intake side of the primer bulb, and the outlet side of the primer goes back into the tank, which has no filter inside the tank. The main problem is determining the correct primer port to connect back to the carburetor. When everything is connected, try priming the carburetor. If fuel fills the bulb, you have everything connected correctly. If nothing happens, try switching the two primer port connections and try to pump fuel again. If still nothing, hook the main supply line from the carburetor over to one of the primer ports and try for fuel again--if still nothing, switch the main supply line to the other primer port and pump again. If still nothing, check for a plugged fuel filter in the tank. If the filter was plugged, then go through the previous procedure again. Make sure to replace the fuel lines with original rubber lines, not plastic. Hope this helps!

Craftsman chainsaw fuel line and fuel filter

go to sears and purchase the fuel filter and fuel line kit for the chainsaw. in that kit will have a hook that you fish through the outside of the tank to the inside, you attach the new fuel line after attaching the fuel line to the fuel filter, to the hook, then pull it through the hole. disconnect the hook from the fuel line, cut the small piece off where the hook made the hole and attach to the carburetor. finish by pushing in the fuel filter inside the fuel tank. the kit will also have more detailed instructions and possibly with illustrations. if sears doesnt have the kit, check with a lawnmower repair shop.

Need to replace all gas lines

  1. Empty the fuel tank on the chainsaw of any remaining fuel. Pull the cap from the tank and turn the unit upside down. Drain the fuel into an approved fuel container. If the fuel is old (more than about a year) dispose of it according to local regulations for hazardous materials. (It can be kept longer by adding a fuel stabilizer.)
  2. Pull the fuel line where it attaches to the carburetor using the end of the needle-nose pliers. The old fuel line may take some force to pull free from the metal tube.
  3. Push on the fuel line to feed it into the fuel tank. Hold the chain saw upside down. Shake the unit to get the fuel filter into the opening of the tank. Pull the filter free of the tank. Feed the remaining fuel line through the access hole at the bottom of the tank. Dispose of the filter and old fuel line in accordance with disposal regulations.
  4. Feed one end of the new fuel line into and through the bottom access hole of the fuel tank. Push approximately 6 to 8 inches into the tank. You can pull back any excess line later. Grab the end of the plastic line with the needle-nose pliers. Bring the line through the gas tank fill opening.
  5. Attach the new filter to the end of the new fuel line. Feed the filter back into the fuel tank. Pull any excess line from the tank. You will want approximately 3 to 4 inches of fuel line inside the tank.
  6. Route the new fuel line to the carburetor. Cut the line to length with the cutters on the needle-nose pliers. Attach the line to the metal tube.
  7. Fill the fuel tank with fresh gas-oil fuel for 2-stroke engines and start the chainsaw. It may take a few pulls to prime the new line with fuel.
  8. Some models come with a priming bulb. Make sure you press the priming bulb three to four times before trying to start. This will prime the gas lines and remove any excess air trapped in the lines.

What are the steps to re-attach throttle to trigger and fuel line to tank on Mac 110? If the fuel line is attached first, the trigger seems impossible to reach and if the trigger is attached first, can't...

Did you remove the rear case first? That allows direct access to the fuel tank and line. I have found the throttle trigger connection to be the worst offender when the front case is removed to access the carburetor and ignition system. Hope this helps!

(2) line from fuel tank, with attached fuel filter, to the other primer bulb port. (3) Line from port on back of carb. to ????. I thought it must be a pulse line, but not certain, and don't know where to run it to. Please let me know when you find out.

Need diagram for fuel lines on craftsman chainsaw

There is two sizes of line. I see the large one goes to the large port on the primer button and then to the fuel tank. The small one goes from the primer button to the carb. The problem is there are two hose connections on the carb. I believe one is a vent, but I am not sure what one it is. I have a 36cc 2-cycle model 358.352161
