Sears Craftsman Chainsaw Fuel Line Replacement

[@mikedrys5335]

Hey! At least your video was very realistic. You learn a lot when you start opening shit up.

[@acet7]

So true and thank you for watching!

[@ronaldbrooks5427]

You should have put that black piece back over the carburetor adjustment screws it would fit 👍🏾

[@acet7]

@@ronaldbrooks5427 okay I will have to look at it, thank you. And thank you for watching.

You actually wanted to connect the smaller fuel line to the filter, feed it up through the smaller tank hole and then connect it to the top intake line of the carb. The primer bulb uses the larger bore lines, pulling fuel through the carb and returning it to the tank. The larger bore lines make it easier/faster to prime. The smaller line fuels the engine when it's running.

[@acet7]

good to know, its still running. Thanks for watching

[@thejonegcle7759]

put filter on as shown, started & ran just fine

[@lukehome9762]

Does the larger fuel line from the primer being returned to the tank need a filter in the tank?

[@thejonegcle7759]

have identical saw. replaced fuel lines (2 different sizes small-primer, large to fuel tank) after watching your video ... started & ran fine !! cut through pile of wood on 1 tank. used picture frame wire to pull hose/tubing through saw pre-drilled holes. helped immensely. make sure to clean out any broken/cracked old fuel line.

[@acet7]

wow, I'm glad it helped, thanks for watching!

[@bens3067]

these saws are notorious for leaking oil, aside from that they are great saws....for that reason i make it a habit of only putting in as much bar oil as i need for how much wood im cutting.. if im gonna store for a long time, pour the bar oil back out of the saw into the oil container

[@acet7]

Thank you for the tip and thanks for watching

[@philliphall5198]

I agree ☝️ on leaking but I clean my saws every night after I use them and I set on side with fill caps up Don’t leak then I had a saw just like this with a 16 inch bar I think, it was never left setting with out being clean 😊

[@scottsquires6186]

You have a guide plate missing is why it leaks oil

[@philliphall5198]

I was looking at it thinking the same thing but it’s been years since I had one and no one ever brings these to shop for repairs

[@Greyman_9189]

I’ve got this exact model with the same issue. Any chance you can post a link to the carb rebuild part? I’d really appreciate it!

[@acet7]

Thank you for watching, I looked in my eBay purchase history and I could not find it. Sorry

[@Greyman_9189]

@@acet7 no worries I was able to locate it on Amazon for $15. Putting it all back together will be a snap thanks to your content. Thanks again.

[@acet7]

@@Greyman_9189 fantastic, I'm glad the video helped!

[@damarpo5467]

you want it drip. that means the bar oiler is working properly. some models have a bar oiler adjustment but I would leave it alone, you know it getting adequate oil.

[@acet7]

Thank you, I didn't know that. I thought it was only supposed to drip when it was running. I guess I will just have to drain it each time as it gets the saw case all messy inside. Thanks for watching!

[@thor68372rockon]

The oil leaking is probably the oil hose or the rubber connection from your oil pump, which is behind your chain clutch, to the oiling chamber connection which is usually a plastic nipple. Once you remove the chain bar, there is a tin plate, beneath that is where the leak is occurring, if that tin plate is not on there properly they will leak also. You will see once you remove that tin plate, don't bend that plate either, it will leak, that could be the problem now, hope this helped ya out.

[@acet7]

Thank you for the information, I will look at that. Also thanks for watching.

[@DennnnnnnY]

Nice jesus sandals! Good video man! Haha thanks

[@acet7]

ha my wife says the same thing lol. Thank you for watching!

[@frankieb64]

Hello, very nice job! I have three Craftsman chain saws and they all leak the Bar/Chain Oil if too much is left in the tank upon completion of the task at hand. I thought it was normal that it does that? I agree with Da Mar Po, Let it be.

[@acet7]

thanks for watching, I will have to see what leaving a little bit in there does.

[@timothyrice2743]

Craftsman Poland pro snapper are made by Husqvarna all of them are made by AYP

[@acet7]

Thank you, I didn't know that

[@johncarlson8029]

Crack the bar oil cap and relieve pressure no leaky

[@acet7]

It's on the side of the unit and would leak more. Do you mean just crack it let the pressure out and then reseal it?

[@scottsquires6186]

Your guide plate goes on the inside of bar

[@acet7]

huh I didn't know that, it most not have come with one from the factory. Do you have a part number or image of this so I can install it on the chainsaw?

[@Jaybird1311]

where did you get the carb kit from?

[@acet7]

I ordered it off eBay I believe if I remember correctly and the extra hoses fuel lines I got from Amazon.

[@mikedrys5335]

They have them on Amazon now.

[@DanielGarcia-zz9eg]

thanks for the information, unfortunately after all that hard work, the fuel tank was leaking fuel. guess 7 yrs sitting ate thu the fuel tank. try to bring back the craftsman back to live to make some money but lost time and $20. this why i stick to ECHO

[@acet7]

Well at least you tried, that's more than most people would do. Thanks for watching.

[@juanperez5444]

So the small line goes on the filter

[@acet7]

Thank you, and thanks for watching.

[@philliphall5198]

There’s a screen in carb and you didn’t clean or replace it 😢

[@acet7]

I didn't know, but it does still work. Thanks for letting me know and watching.

[@danielpadgett2831]

You shouldn't have to modify anything if you ordered the right kit. And I hope you put in the gasket on before putting in the metering diaphragm

[@acet7]

I wound up to thoroughly cleaning the old carburetor and replacing the gaskets and seals that came in a separate kit. It works fine thank you for watching.

[@jacknimble1]

Carb cleaner is stronger than brake cleaner. Funny how craftsman could have spent another 2 cents for higher quality fuel lines so this didn't happen. I just went through a 40+ yo echo made in japan with the original fuel lines that are perfect. If you read the label on this saw it indicates that the useful life is only 50 hours.

[@acet7]

Thank you for watching and commenting, did you do a video on your echo fuel lines?

[@johngibson1491]

It has leaked since you bought it. Or it leaks cause you don't take care of your tools.😂.kidding bud it happens.

[@acet7]

Funny, thanks for watching.
