Replacing a Fuel Line on a Stihl MS210,230 and 250 Chain Saw

[@gibsonfan159]

Thanks for fast forwarding through all the parts I needed to see.

Ya know kidding

[@mathewblackwell6011]

Yep wtf

[@Velcrostraps91]

😅........He took off the carb to reach the fuel line gents.

[@Drummer81able]

Did the same Job today,on a 250c. Fairly easy Job,not complicated at all,took my time and did it on an hour. Cleaned the carburator too. It helps a lot with pliers,if you dont have small fingers and hands. Thank you for a informative video.

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks for watching

[@flyalaska2021]

My ms250 had the same leak. Seeing your video I tore mine down and took my fuel line out but I didn't find a leak either. I cleaned both surfaces and reinstalled my old line. It fixed my leak. I only use 92 octane pure non ethanol regular in all my small engines. saves a lot of maintenance. Thanks for the video. It inspired me to fix my Stihl too.

[@BrucesShop]

I have found that sometimes just taking something apart and reassembling it cure the problem. Like a seal or the like.

[@flyalaska2021]

@@BrucesShop That used to be true for me too but now days I spend half the day looking for the parts right in front of me on a clean workbench.

@@flyalaska2021 My eyes are starting to not work as good. Today i couldn't see the spark on a plug

[@TheHolmsteadWithJesseHolm]

Thanks for the info. My saw started choking out yesterday after 6-7 hours of work. It started today, no problem and I just cut a few pieces of oak to see if it would end up doing the same thing, it didn't. Hopefully I can get through the day today, as it's my last day before surgery and I'll be out if commission for a while. Helped me evaluate that I definitely didn't have time to do these repairs, lol! Cheers!

[@BrucesShop]

Good luck with your recovery.

[@MIKEKELLEY12000]

Great video. It helped me a lot. Thanks much.

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks Mike. I means a lot.

[@alssmallengines]

Great video Bruce! Some of those chainsaws can be a bear to put fuel lines on. Great job!

[@BrucesShop]

I didn't show the spots in the video where I struggled to get the fuel line in :-0

[@WellStudied]

Good vid, but if you could zoom in on the linkage connections - choke, throttle, for those who haven't done it before, that would have been helpful.

[@robertneild9432]

Spot on, but now I see 6yrs. Dam , not good video, you're right

Nice job Bruce. Fiddly job that.

awesome vid... I just replaced mine and this was very helpful.. thank you

Yes I call it fingeritis.

I thought you were going to turn into the Incredible Hulk there for a second toward the end. :)

[@BrucesShop]

haha Slow motion!!!

[@1995dresser]

Just did my brothers MS 210 what a pain in the ass every time I pulled to seat the grommet the fuel line would pull through but the fourth try I got it your video is very good. looked at the little red barn video on Sthil fuel line replacement and he puts it in the wrong way not only from inside the tank but the fuel line is backwards also did it your way the proper way works

[@BrucesShop]

+1995dresser Thanks 1995dressor, I means a lots

[@ericsandrin8123]

i pull it out by the fuel tand and insert the new one through the top push it one side at a time through the narrow opening in the saw from the top..align it by looking through the tank opening..i used a quarter drive extension ... use one side at a time into the tank.working my way around...easy as pie...

[@anthonygostling]

Didn''t see you put in the pipe at all, so no help there...!

[@trebledog]

In all the other videos, the curved half of the gas line goes outside the tank cause the curve matches the bend around the carb. Maybe it doesn't matter.

[@BrucesShop]

You are most likely right

[@johnhenbest3547]

I cannot believe how difficult this fuel line replacement was for me on my MS210c . Everything was very easy until I got to seating the line in the hole in the tank top. I think you cheated Bruce when your shoulder got in the way of the video just as you got to that step! After trying to use a screwdriver blade a million times to directly press down on the upper flange (and almost always finally pushing the flange and the screwdriver through the hole and having to start over) I used the flat of the screwdriver blade and leveraged against the case to finally succeed. Thanks for the video but I still don't know how you accomplished what I fiddled and cussed with for hours before it worked.

[@BrucesShop]

I remember cussing myself.

[@wmrogerware]

@@BrucesShop amazing how the fuel line jumped into place as you started to cuss, sorry but no help need to show how to get the line in correctly

[@WallsBeeMan]

Lee Smith showed this same replacement without taking off the Carb.

[@robertbromley9384]

excellant presentation

[@BrucesShop]

Wow this is an 8 yer old video, thanks a lot.

[@keithevans1731]

Looks like the fuel line was put in up side down. I'm sure it will work but they are designed with the crook to be out of the top of the tank so it can attach to the carb without a link.

[@BrucesShop]

I checked At 4:19 That is how i took it out. Good eye for checking. I do wish I knew as much as a factory builder.

[@keithevans1731]

@@BrucesShop as long as it works it's fine. No worries. 😉

[@trebledog]

You mean kink.

[@fcaughli]

Assuming there is a problem with alcohol damaging the rubber used by stihl: So even though we have no problem making all kinds of fuel lines that work in cars and trucks that have up to 15% alcohol even E85 for some vehicles stihl won't use the slightly different rubber that won't be damaged by ethanol? Is there some requirement to have some kind of special fuel otherwise for chain saw engines? Geez.

[@BrucesShop]

Well around here we are all using non ethanol fuel. You can buy it from Stihl if you want. $$$$

[@orcoastgreenman]

Non ethanol fuel is used by boaters frequently, so the local marina may have it... here they do, for a dollar or so more a gallon than regular where I am.

[@jasondecker9196]

How the h3ll is that saw so clean. Mine looks like its been through a war!

[@BrucesShop]

I was lucky to have it come in like that

[@6000cs]

Sorry, but the hard part is putting the new line into that tiny space and lining up the retaining grommet. This doesn't show any of that. Its next to impossible in the space provided.

[@BrucesShop]

Right you are. This video is 9 years old now. I am sure i have done a few since but i am not sure if I filmed it. Thanks for the knowledge.

[@6000cs]

My issue was the cheapo replacement kit I got off amazon. The new fuel line was terrible, and did not have ample room to "seat" that grommet thing. I reused the old one, and it was not a big deal. I don't think anyone could have got that replacement thing on. Luckily, it works. I really thing it may have been the filthy "tank vent" along the right side of the carb.@@BrucesShop

[@americanman595]

does anyone know anything about ethanol damage to your soul if you use off-road gas which has no ethanol in it and gas that is at least 89 octane you can even use racing fuel the ethanol the severe damage to carburetor and plastic I have used off-road fuel in my chainsaws for years the actually love leaded fuel I have a very old still that has never been rebuilt high octane no ethanol is the key actually with the addition of synthetic pure synthetic 2-stroke oil additive I can see the sauce lasting longer and even the older ones

[@donlightbody4330]

gary Fisher that was absolutely impossible to read.

[@raulduke85]

I have to replace it too: i Plan to leave this fuel line, cutting it on top of the fuel tank; I will just "install" a fuel filter for 1/10-1/8 rc Cars (the smallest I'll find) and a piece of silicon rc gas line (wich generally are better quality than this shitty chainsaw lines); this way i think I'll defenetly solve the problem, and if not, a new piece of rc gas line won't cost me more than 1€, for future repairs.

[@BrucesShop]

I find the Stihl gas lines are good but the ethanol fuel dissolves the rubber. Get the Stilh 50-1 fuel. If you can-- use factory parts. I have tried to many times to rig things. The big problem is the shaped grommet seal coming out of the tank.

[@johnmaxx4818]

That sucks to replace a fuel line you got to disassemble the carburetor
