I would think 2 stroke oil would be compatible with impulse lines... ...

A smear of grease works fine. All rubber used in chainsaws should be oil resistant, and the intake tract definitely is.
On a side note, make sure you don’t over torque the carb mount bolts. They strip more easily than most.

The little piece of tube? Just press it into the cyl. The impulse barb of the carb mount holds it in place. No oil or grease needed

I wonder if he’s putting a new piece of tube in that is on the small side.

So, wrong one?

i’ve already used a piece of fuel line for that hose. It turns out to fit as well as oem piece but if you can get it in place, it works fine

As or even more critical is to ensure the threads starting properly and not trying to cut new and stripping out the threads that way as well.
This for those wanting to know, this can be easily achieved by simply turning the fastener slowly backwards until it is felt dropping into the threads in the starting position. All that is required at that point is to promptly stop and turn the fastener forward until it bottoms and is snugly fit.

Excellent advice. I haven’t ever stripped any, but as many as I’ve worked on that were already stripped, it must be a weakness. Although hamfisted pseudo mechanics can tear up anything.

I use original part, put it inside cylinder hole. no need for lubricant.

Thread 'Husqvarna 55 mod'

Feb 4, 2018

So I got my 2000 Husqvarna closed port 55 back from my brother and decided to tear it down and mod it. I’m cutting my teeth on this to learn on. So far I’ve torn it down, and will be cleaning it up while I wait for my cylinder to be cut and shipped back. I’m going through and replacing the crank bearings, seals, and anything else that should be replaced on an 18 year old saw. As of now this saw has only had a base gasket delete. It is currently at 109, 127.5 and 69 with .033” squish. Going to have .012” removed form the base...
