Oh dear, friend with a Craftsman saw

[Duane(Pa)]

Yes, that's the broken fuel supply line that goes in hole under H-L screws. Pickup at end of that line in tank. And the other end attaches to empty nipple on fuel pump side. I hate the tiny .08" fuel supply line and drill that hole with 11/64" bit and use 3/32" for all 3 lines.

Wow! That worked great... The drilling went very well with no chips falling into the tank because the plastic came off the drill flutes in long ribbons. Fixed and returnt to it's happy owner.

A Long hemostat and drill to whatever size line you use.
It's a quick easy job
Those little line's suck

Right. Has to flow more fuel too.

Plastic Craftsman/Poulans have their place.

I wait until I have a pile and then resurrect some for C’list fodder.

Two runners out of four ain’t bad. [emoji106]

Pus the leftover parts for the next batch. [emoji6]

This one still might be my favorite lightweight Craftsman:

The 4218. Not sure why I don't use it more often.

He just texted me. Said the saw runs great. Thanks for the help boys!

Jon has been looking for one of those little yellow saws. times being such for him we should take up a collection to buy it from you and ship it to Mr.Fudim. I believe I can find his address. This would greatly lift his spirits.



What is the story on the red saw btw?

The Mac tophandle ain’t worth the cost of shipping. Free local pick up it is. [emoji106]

The red one (Poulan Predator), someone managed to break off the end of the crankshaft. [emoji15]

Near perfect piston/cylinder.

I must admit that I tried rebuilding a Poulan Wild Thing once after a customer straight gassed it to death. I was doing well and thought I had it rebuilt, but while I was I carefully tightening one of the cylinder mounting bolts, I heard a crack! The lower side of the cylinder broke off, and that was it.

After that, I figured they really weren't saving from the land fill. I just part them out and try to use the parts to fix the ones that still have compression. I have saved several this way.

I'll do fuel lines on them. Any more than that your wasting time IMO
