Note on getting the thick tube into the gas tank. Tools: Razor or utility knife Needle nose pliers Make about a 3/4 inch diagonal cut in the end of the tube. Insert the cut end down the top of the tank hole. That should leave enough tube to grab the sliced end through the gas tank opening with the needle nose. Pull enough out. Square the cut end. Put on the filter. Pull it back into the tank.

[@larry3099]

Great video! It was exactly what I needed to route the fuel lines correctly!

[@alski259]

More comprehensive information than other videos of the same machine. Well done!

[@rtj49]

The best video I have seen for this type chainsaw. It is the same as my Poulan 2250. Thanks for showing where all fuel lines go.

[@dereksmith4178]

I have same saw but I ran the big tube off of the filter into the carb and the bulb on the left side to siphon through. The filters I have OEM are the larger tube size.

[@kolbiter]

Thanks a ton. Doing some after-storm cleanup and of course that's when my fuel line comes apart. This got me up and running again. Excellent, clear instructions and diagrams. Something I did that helped with feeding the line was to sacrifice the last inch or so of the tube and trim the wall thinner with an X-acto knife. Feeding it from the outside of the tank this gave me just enough so that I could grab it from inside the tank with a set of extra long needlenose. Once pulled through I cut off the trimmed end before fitting the fuel filter. Anyway, thanks again.

[@vernoncpowelljr7520]

Ok

[@danjohnson9268]

Great job on the video. Very clear, no wasted time, like the way you sped through certain parts.

[@richa0113]

Your video made in 2015, and did me great 3 years later. Thanks so much for doing so.

[@thesincerepatriot8028]

Just found this same chainsaw in a shed behind my new house. Had the exact same problem. Thanks to you I got an almost-free chainsaw. Excellent video, took no time to do it.

[@timwerner7066]

Thanks for the video. I recently purchased this Chainsaw and discovered the fuel line was rotted. I followed your video step by step and got the job done. A few adjustments to the carb and it runs well. Thanks again!

[@Bassedmen]

Thank you! The timing of your video was awesome, The remanence of Patricia went by our home and took down a tree onto my deck... And of course, my chainsaw wouldn't start.. With your video I was was able to repair it.. It started right up! Thanks a million!

[@gordo3di]

I can't believe I got it running again! Thanks for the video. My carburetor is a little different and has both fuel lines on the right side. The top was the fuel inlet (from the filter) for anyone who has the same one. I'll admit though getting those new fuel lines into the tank was a pain!

[@RedCornOutdoors]

Wanted to say thanks, I watched you're video and was able to repair my chainsaw. Was looking to buy a new one, just saved me some money. Thank you

[@plymonth1941]

THANK YOU for this video. You saved me from having to buy another chain saw ($200.00-250). Followed your instructions and saw started right up and is running like new. THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!!! 5-23-2019

[@jeffreinardy7570]

This was PERFECT to get mine fixed! My only three moments of "What the" Was with the carburetor being in so long the seal was sticking it. Just nudged it with a screwdriver and off it went. The second was trying to thread the hose through, That was tough, (good call with the 2 cycle oil) and then I had a pair of curved needle nose pliers. Lastly, the smaller hose had a small Inside Diameter making it hard to put on the fuel filer and back onto the carburetor, I just grabbed a lighter to warm the end of the hose up a bit and that did the trick. Excellent video!

[@algarbarino8538]

Very good video and very helpful. I had trouble feeding the fuel lines in and brought a long needle nose player that helped grab the line in the tank and pull it through. Your video was very good quality and well done. Thank you

[@bikenraider99]

Great video. I really appreciate you taking the time to detail out the lines and explain. Helped me replace mine in no time. Thank you.

[@ccarmelo1979]

It costs a little more to have a pre-spooled line, but when you're in the middle of a trimming job kzbin.infoUgkx429xwEjNPnwzQohFrURRyKF51YfOD_Du , it is so nice to just pop out the old one and pop in a new one. Love Black & Decker tools. Especially the 20-volt battery operated ones. And, as usual, it came on time. Thanks Amazon!

[@josephs4996]

excellent video great instruction clear picture no loud music to distract you. My fuel lines were already falling apart so the routing was difficult. really good job

[@allenio2896]

The sketch showing diagram of fuel line routing - - WAS KEY! Thanks vm.

[@johndelaney8405]

And once again helped me out greatly in 2021. Thanks so much for posting this.

[@webpainter61]

Thanks. One tip that may help others is if you find that the tubing is too small. Heat it up with a heat gun and that can help just about any size tubing to fit on those very hard to assemble fittings.

[@PANDEMIC556]

Thanks for the video! I have the exact same chainsaw that needs a tune - up. Really helpful, liked and subscribed!

[@ibsoarin]

My Craftsman 18" 42 cc chainsaw is identical to the chainsaw in this video. It has a ZAMA C1Q W9A carburetor instead of your Walbro WT391 carburetor. Except for the brand, both carburetors are identical. I do not know if the ZAMA carburetor is a replacement or was original equipment. I benefited from your instructional videos. The ZAMA carburetor and chainsaw work perfectly now. Thank you for posting this video.

[@wakkogn9351]

Your diagram helped out...thanks for the video.

[@robkeshav800]

Thank you for the excellent video. It was very helpful. I am still having difficulty pushing the thicker fuel line (for choke). Where can I buy the wire tool you showed on video or did you make it yourself? If there are any tricks to do this please share it . Thanks.

[@MrAges-yi2fc]

Very well done video! Outstanding job!

[@rjmhrt]

Good video. Have the 16" and the big question was where does the mystery fitting go. My fuel lines were rotted and disconnected, parts laying in the tank. Seen diagrams showing the pressure fitting actually goes into the housing (wrong). Your video nailed it, goes on the end of the exit fuel line to act like a stop. The rest of the video for tips on threading the fuel lines.

[@bundiesel8472]

i just watched this video today and had my chainsaw working in about 45 min. ty. old vids can still be helpful

[@IntoEverything]

Thank you. The Best video I've found on KZbin, et alia. Finally, a through & complete DIY! God Bless America!

[@MrRdmiller]

Got all my fuel lines replaced. New plug and filter. Runs like new. Thank you very much. Big help.

[@tomsherman2737]

Thank you so much for the video!! You saved me a ton of work!!

[@mvburch]

Thank you for the video! Helped me with my repair.

[@michaelreed8873]

Great job, mine was a slightly different model, but your video was a great help.

[@OogieWa]

Thanks, glad I saw this before tearing into it. My problem is that when it uses the gas the tank isn't venting and gets a vacuum going. You can hear it suck air in when you take out the cap. Was there anything in there that you saw that could be blocking the tank vent, or where is it? The saw is a couple of years old but has very little run time. Everything looks fine, the hoses appear to be in great shap, but I'm afraid some varnish has formed inside and blacked the vent. Thanks if you see this, muchly appreciated.

[@ChrisG9978]

Repaired a similar model 18" Craftsman chainsaw, though I believe it was a model 1-2 years older than the one in this video. It sat for probably 15 years without being touched, so the fuel lines had disintegrated and the fuel had gummed up the carb fairly well. I drilled that small hole (for the fuel intake) slightly larger so that the fuel tube would slide right through it, then used a small amount of silicone to seal things back up. Made the fuel line replacement much easier. I ended up replacing the carb...new one was less than $20 and I figured most the small parts, check valves, and diaphragms were gummed up due to the saw being in storage for so long (with gas left in the tank).

[@cameltryde]

nice work, thanks for slowing down a bit... never seen hands that could move so fast LOL

[@Mucram-17]

Thanks for the video man,totally helped me out.

[@hiss3]

-Wonderfully done ... I have been going through vids on this project and they left me frustrated ... This vid made the job just that simple... as you presented it. - T/Y.

[@bones12ox]

What size were the two plastic lines you ran with the fuel filter???

[@cowboys95155]

Thank you for this video sure did help me!! Just a question how was the idle when y'all put back together ? Thanks

[@howe1955]

great video , my primer pump when pressed stays in ,ive changed all the carb gaskets made sure the tubes are the right way round ,dump tube to long prong ,carb to short prong ,any ideas please

[@tpilcick]

Thanks - best one of these videos I've seen on replacing the fuel lines.

[@donreynolds597]

.

[@scottsoffroad]

Thank you.Just what I needed.I got it done 🙂

[@jackmellott3628]

Excellent videos!!!

[@zombiedave6502]

Hey DIY TINKER, probably the best how to on fuel line replacement I've watched so far. With your permission I would like to link to this video. Zombie Dave. Thanks in advance

[@DIYTinker]

nice to know you enjoyed the video. thanks for linking the video. more exposure is always great.

[@JS-ds5en]

[@dpjejj]

The diagram @ 5:00 is very helpful. Thanks, for the posting.

[@MrRdmiller]

Great video. Thanks

[@grandpromenade6925]

Excellent video...top-of-the-line!

[@gmoney9247]

Great video!

[@kekoahawaiian5031]

Thank you for the video. I really appreciate it. I thought I had to go to Sears to get it fix and those bastards would have charge me like $200. Now I can fix it by myself. Thanks again!

[@RandomGeekLife]

Thanks. best video quality, + the diagram really helped. Thanks again

[@cliff6490]

Great video, my issue is the carb that is on there sombody took a screwdriver to it and it junk. I bought this at a garage sale for 5.00 so my question is that i have looked on ebay and elsewhere for a replacement carb can't seem to locate one. The carb thats on there is a Walbro WT391 i see a bunch of them but the choke linkage looks different. Have they discontinued that carb? if so whats the replacement? Thx Cliff

[@jacobbryant9257]

do you know what size that the 2 different sizes were?

[@mclc432]

Sam, Im working with a Model# 358.351060, looks very similar

[@ArthurSwails]

Do you know what sizes the two different hoses are?

[@ppapasavas]

[@tommerwhite]

The best shoes to where while drinkin and chainsawin yeehaw hold my beer and watch this..

[@jessecoleman2271]

Excellent video bubz

[@TonyElovitz]

Is there a link to the carb cleaning process?

[@berad187]

I have been working on the same thing but mines nice little craftsman 36cc 16inch bar I have been working hard on the fuel tubes are a pain getting them through there little holes and that wire thing that supposed to pull them through did not work out for me but I did my best and it's still working out alright for me mine the fuel lines are on tope left side and the other is on the bottom right side I at first almost get confused on how I was gonna get this back together but that was then

[@caboose097]

Thank you!

[@samiam4026]

bro can you tell me whats the model the you showing on youtube please thanks

[@TH20653]

[@Deke1]

now what replacement chain is compatible??

[@alanlake5220]

a great video, is that a rattle snake i can hear in the background ?

[@mclc432]

Can someone tell me the description of the Black fuel line "coupling" at 3:57 he might put on, and where to get one?

[@GuitarMan22]

very helpful thanks

[@nancysmith9487]

Thank yous for sharing

[@PhilConn]

What year is this saw

[@bickfota]

All is good except frame 5:35, this will go right there and this will go right here... Which one is for dump which one is for intake???

[@andrewhodges3781]

I have a craftsman 42cc 18inch chainsaw my friend gave me. its like brand new , but it doesn't have a airfeulter. the only way it start up. I half to shoot Quick start into the motor, then it start up for alittle bit, When I gas it, it bog down and die. dose it need the air feulter to run

[@DIYTinker]

sounds like a dirty carb. clean that out and add the air filter back.

[@shirleycampbell4364]

What model is this chainsaw. I have one but can't get the part without the number

[@billhorton6596]

My chainsaw looks the same and is model 358351480 made in 1999.

[@whip205inthebam3]

The wire is not needed just trim end of fuel line and use 12" locking clamp pliers from harbor freight to pull the line thru from inside the tank.

[@burtharlan3250]

Great video - I have the same saw but can not read the model number in order to order parts. Could you provide your model number? Thanks

[@billhorton6596]

My chainsaw looks the same and is model 358351480 made in 1999.

[@cluelessbeekeeping1322]

Would you mind telling me the model number of your chainsaw? Mine looks exactly the same and I can't read my model number (It's worn away). I need some parts, but I don't have a model number. Thanks for making this video!

[@TheRealBiggerAl]

CluelessBeeKeeping looks like the 358.350080

[@cluelessbeekeeping1322]

Thank you!

[@xr500t]

Went through the comments, I couldn't find anyone ask if there's a filter for the primer bulb. It would make sense as to preventing dirt from getting into the carb.

[@TonyElovitz]

It’s inside the tank attached to one of the fuel lines.

[@wmjoca]

Your hands were in the way to show which tube went where.

[@RastaMonn]

Thankyou

[@raymondj3869]

Anyone know the fuel line sizes?

[@geojor]

thank you...

[@gabemalcolm4429]

Can I get the model number? I'm looking for parts to the one I own but can't find thee number.

[@billhorton6596]

My chainsaw looks the same and is model 358351480 made in 1999.

[@nayasea3918]

thanks

[@mclc432]

Whats the matter charles?

[@jamesfank1121]

im having a hell of time getting the line into the tank

[@elibentley557]

James Fank Me too. Could you figure out how to get it?

[@jackfrosty79ify]

Better then new 1s

You saved me!

[@sfales1000]

Sears craftsman chainsaw carb

[@brianu33]

ty. I replaced my fuel lines and now engine wont start. seem gas not getting to engine. anyvthoughts? I'm jammed over this as I can't get it running

[@rlmoorex]

Mine runs like a charm for 5-7 minutes, then dies. Dies like it is getting zero fuel. Will not restart until it cools down. Did the EXACT SAME THING, BEFORE AND AFTER I installed a brand new carb, new fuel lines, new fuel filter, and new spark plug. Also, fresh fuel and oil. Ughhh. Totally frustrated. Craftsman 18” 42 cc, model #358.341900. Any ideas folks?

[@hightidegoldendoodles4359]

Sounds like it is overheating, causing the piston to expand in the bore. Check that there is no sawdust in the flywheel and cylinder cooling fins. Richening the high speed jet a little will also make it run cooler.

[@gp1200x]

@@hightidegoldendoodles4359 It is your coil / plug wire assembly..known problem...replace it and it will run good. When the coil heats up it can do this....happens on a lot of craftsman equipment using this same magneto coil assembly.

[@gordoman9145]

This thing is basically a Poulan/Husqvarna

[@renocampos4605]

ya brah, you're cool. Aloha

[@117bd]

Went through several video's, no help at all. Not really show good where lines went or not hear what they were saying. Your pic diagram tells it all. Thank you.

[@bobfarney2353]

Good job, very helpful. But...running a chainsaw in flip-flops...not too smart.

[@jardubs2728]

Worst part of this video is them flip flops

[@raygetoutdoors6151]

Don't put ethanol gas in your chainsaw or you will be doing this again shortly...

[@DougHinVA]

making the fuel line retrieve harder than it is... think it through and lubricate the line as it goes in the tank hole...

[@theringer13]

Doug H. in VA nah it’s difficult any way you tackle it

[@user-jt2tw1xx2l]

*I have only used 2 tanks of fuel so far. This saw starts and runs and idles perfect.>>>**cli.re/6daq5G ** I have been heating with wood that I cut here in northern Ohio for 16 years, so I know a little about saws. To take this saw out of the box and have it work perfect without adjusting anything is awesome*

I'm lost....
