I did exactly what you just did to the exact same saw and I found that fishing line tied into a clove hitch around the hose worked perfectly to be able to fight it through. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
Good vid. Talking through the details with basic video footage was helpful. Good to see all the parts. I’m up at the cottage cutting wood and now troubleshooting my saw. Thanks, from Quebec Canada.
After five minutes of trying to squeeze the fuel line into the small hole in the gas tank, I thought I would give RUclips a try to see if someone smarter could save me time. Lo and behold I found this video and it saved me from what would’ve been hours of frustration. Thank you so much! There is nothing like RUclips university.
Good deal Alex! Glad the video was helpful and the tip(s) were useful. I too use the "RUclips university" way more than what I contribute. What a wonderful thing.. Good luck and take care, G.
My chainsaw sat for years unused while the fuel line rotted away. When my saw still would not work after replacing the lines, I watched this video only to find out that I’d reversed my intake and dump lines. Thanks for the help!
THANK YOU!! You saved my ass on my Poulan 262 Pro. It is almost identical to this Craftsman. I had no clue how to install the new lines, I didnt even know they went down into the tank! A tip: I bought my bulb from Sears and both the old Poulan and the new Sears bulb have "TANK" and :CARB" stamped next to the nipples on the back of the bulb in tiny little letters.
Good deal David! Glad it was helpful. Having the bulbs marked would be helpful for sure. Not too long ago a neighbor down the block changed out the ones on his line trimmer and put them on backwards so he couldn't get it started. He was out there for an hour trying to start it. He was getting ready to toss it out when I went down there. A five minute fix and he was off and running again. It makes me wonder how many are tossed because of simply getting the lines on wrong? Take care, G.
good vidio and very helpful. I wish you had walked through the fuel line placement ...I have hit slightly different carbs...and 2 different diagrahms on how the tubes are hooked up. Yours had everything the same so I was hoping for a complete walk through of the assembly.
Thanks. Yeah, this wasn't a how-to, but was simply something I just had going at that time. I could've been more concise, but unfortunately I wasn't. Good luck, G.
I agree with the other people...too many videos of people explaining about how they got the item and the tools instead of the actual fuel line. At least you didn't have obnoxious music playing during your video. Kudos for that.
Sure, however this this wasn't posted as a "how-to" video or it would've been titled as such, but rather it was just something I had going on. But with that being said, if anyone is replacing the lines, they should ALREADY know where they terminate to with the disassembly. Those making these types of comments effed up and didn't pay attention and are looking for a solution to a self inflicted problem. But, with that said- I NEVER use obnoxious music. No music at all on my channel for that matter. It pisses me off when I watch a video I'm trying to learn from. Take care, G.
@@ghostses THAT being said...I was just looking to fix a gas powered chainsaw. Figuring that's what your posted video said...and you were replacing gas lines. BUT I got the best fix it. I bought a brand new Ryobi 40 volt chainsaw. I may make a video of how to fix all gas chainsaws. It wouldn't be a "how to".
@@williammartin7246 "I was just looking to fix a gas powered chainsaw." A gas powered chainsaw? Not even the model I was showing? Get your azz out of here. "But I got the best fix it"? Really, again? For real? Stick with batteries or you might severely hurt yourself. Oh my......G.

I have an old Poulan that has the same problem I'll have to fix mine now. LOL I can order the parts so they all fit. I need the filter primer bulb and all.. Might just get a cab kit for the heck of it. Nice repair it works great.
My dad has a Poulan as well. He likes it just fine. Ordering the correct parts would be a good idea. I had to get mine running quick, but this worked out for me. I used it today and it ran like a top! Thanks, G.
Thank you very much for putting this together. I have Craftsman 358.360360 model that will not stay running. Your video was really helpful. With your Idle adjustment screw all the way turned in, how much should you back it out to get the saw to run? Should the Low and High adjustment be turned out 1 1/2 turns?
The idle adjustment screw is subjective but certainly should not be all the way in. The low and high screw adjustments (as bounce off point) could be 1 to 1.5 turns out as a baseline. Look for videos on how to adjust things. High/low/and idle. Hope that helps, G.
Good deal! I don't think there is a way to adjust how much bar oil it puts out, but I could be wrong. I don't know what oil your using, but it might be a bit thin. Look into a thicker oil perhaps? Personally, I remove the oil from my saws before storage as they sit for long periods in-between uses. It helps to minimize the mess they can make. Hope this helps and good luck, G.
Hey G...Nice little runner there and good video on doing that. Couldn't help notice the ratcheting screwdriver looks just like my Snap-On one, except its green. ;-) Couldn't read the maker on the side of yours? Also a tip on the fuel line is, soak or run the end of it under hot water for a min. or 3 then it slides on fine and shrinks back when cool. Also Home Depot has fuel line kits for ~$4 in their yard tool section that are exact fits. I keep an extra around just for this type of thing.
Yeah PJ, it's a Snap-On. This is probably my favorite carry driver for various things. I have a box for it with all of the bits and a small clip of Snap-on sockets. I think I show the complete set in my HF torx driver review. Good tip on the water- I've always used a lighter myself. I probably should get a backup set for this saw. I used it today and it sure worked like it was brand new. Thanks, G.
I had already changed my fuel lines, but great video. Any advice on issues with the choke. Before I changed the fuel lines the choke would pull and stay locked out until you squeeze the throttle. Now when you pull the choke it does not lock?
Thanks Joey. Without tearing mine apart, it's hard to say. If I had to guess, one of the new fuel lines you installed may be interferring with the action of the choke. Since it worked before, and not now after changing the lines, it seems logical to me. Take a peak at it and let me know what you discover. G.
I happen to have just come across the exact same saw. With exactly the same problem. The hoses are crumbling apart. I appreciate knowing to need long nose and bent nose pliers but would have loved to know the diameter of the hoses you purchased and to also see the actual steps you took to feed the hoses through and get them on the fittings. I’ll get the pliers and as many diameter hoses as I can and go from there.
That's probably the first time I've heard to use water instead of oil for lubrication, maybe I heard you wrong.I used some 2 stroke oil, took some wrestling but I got it in.
It costs a little more to have a pre-spooled line, but when you're in the middle of a trimming job ruclips.net/user/postUgkx429xwEjNPnwzQohFrURRyKF51YfOD_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!
Really like the video, but need to see the step-by-step running of the lines and connecting them. My saw was the same way, barely used , but all the lines deteriorated and have to be replaced. I am definitely a novice ! thanks
Thanks Tim. I didn't show much detail since most saws would probably be different than mine. But, in hindsight, I could have shown running the lines and making the connections. That information should translate to most other brands- how they get there would be the only difference. If you can find an online manual for your saw, or already have one- it might help to determine what goes where. Or perhaps someone else has posted something that will better assist you with yours. Good luck, G.
ghostses i came to see how the hoses go I think I mixed mine up or may be bad gas also the button to gas it up now is all pushed in after I put in that blue clutch... this machines suck 😩
the reason why I did not like this video is because you spent more time talking about other things than showing where the fuel lines actually attached to.
I agree with you. And he wants to tell us about his wife's uncle. No one cares about who's chainsaw it was. Great retort. This guy has no clue about how to fix anything...let alone a chainsaw
What are the 2 sizes for the lines? **paraphrased** "If you dont get the exact size, it leaks" "I got the wrong size, so it's back to the store" "Ok, I've got some that'll work" *What size are they?!?!* 😂
I can't say Caleb. I just took my old ones with me and matched them up. You might be able to search for the saw number, then look to see if you can find the correct sizes. Good luck, G.
hello folks i've been looking for a fitting thats shown at 3:29 , can someone tell me the name of it so i can look for some online ? also another "fitting" i need is shaped differently you force it down the fuel line it expands the outside of the fuel line so you get a snug fitting i need one of those that drops into the fuel tank , can someone tell me the name of that part so i can buy some online ?? thanks for your help
Katie B Katie, here's a link that shows diagrams and parts that can be ordered from Sears for model number 358.350180- which is the one shown in the video. If you you have a different model number, you can search for it on the site to access the diagrams and parts. I don't know the name of the little fitting at 3:29, but based on your description of the second fitting- I think you might be referring to the fuel filter. Hope this helps, G. www.searspartsdirect.com/Craftsman-Chainsaw-Parts/Model-358350180/0247/1503220.html
Thank you think you! I have been searching and search and searching and...... For this particular model number and was borderline heart attack from panic as I couldn't find it on this saw nor from google and this is a customers (if you would) saw. That is until right "NOW"... Again!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!
Sal, I don't recall the model number of my saw- but try a search with you model number and "fuel line routing". That might yield you the information your hunting. Good luck, G.
Could you tell me the model number of this saw or where to find it. I'm doing this same repair plus a few other things and I'm trying to find a parts diagram for it. Thanks.
I don't have the saw with me right now Scott. It's at one of our properties. I will be going by there tomorrow and will try to remember to look for the model number. G.
Scott Clark Well Scott, I simply forgot to look at it today. I've let my wife know to remind on Monday to look at it. She said she's got your back so if I don't get it on Monday, it's on her...lol. Sorry for forgetting. G.
Scott Clark Scott, I remembered to get the model number of my saw today. It was located on a sticker on the back of the saw (below the trottle on the left side). The model number of my saw is 358.350180. I found the manual on Searspartsdirect. Towards the end of the manual, it shows the parts breakdown. Here's the link.

I hate to break it to you, but you didn't need to take it all apart like that if you just wanted the carb free. Seriously, just two 8mm nuts is all that holds it on.
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?
Shooting in the dark here, but based on everything you've done and the symptoms- to me it sounds like you need to replace the ignition module. When it gets hot, the circuit is opening up and quits firing the plug so it dies. Then after it cools off, the circuit will close, and it will start up just fine then die again after it gets hot. Again, just guessing here, but it sounds like the problem to me. Here's a link based on the model you've given. Good luck, G. www.searspartsdirect.com/part-number/545115801/0071/358.html?modelNumber=358341900&categoryName=Chainsaw,%20Gas&brandName=CRAFTSMAN
Here's an excellent article on how to adjust the carb. Hope this helps, G. store.chainsawr.com/blogs/tuning-and-repairs/1126042-adjustment-and-tuning-of-a-chainsaw-carburetor

I watched this video so I didn't have to search to find out what size gas line I needed..... I guess I'll cut it short and go search what size of gas line I need. :( SMH.... I watched 9 videos yesterday trying to find out what size wrenches I needed to pull my starter on my S10.... and not one of them could give me that satisfaction.... so.... thumbs down to ya'll..... laterz
That's exactly how it's done- you take a piece to the store and match it up. As for wrenches, it it does't go on- it's too small. If it goes on but doesn't turn the fastener- it's too big. Goldilocks man... lol. Laterz Haterz.
It does in the sense that had it not happened, there would be no video. It wasn't a how-to anyway, just something I had going on. A couple of sentences sure got you twisted...lol. You must be a blast at a party smacking hands with your ruler to keep the conversations on course... Good luck, G.

What was the OD of the primer bulb feed fuel line ? I have 3.5mm here, and it is impossible to get through the hole.
Sorry, I don't know. Good luck, G.
Or you can take a drill bit and make a bigger hole in plastic to the fuel tank to allow current generic lines to fit
That's an option. G.
If larger size hose used on filter line, can be less flexible for filter moving in tank as saw rotated on side.

You miss the tearing down and threading
Sorry Robert, I don't know what you're trying to say. G.
I hate to break it to you, but you didn't need to take it all apart like that if you just wanted the carb free. Seriously, just two 8mm nuts is all that holds it on.
On mine, the air box wouldn't clear the studs and was hitting the handle- so the handle was removed. G.
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?
Shooting in the dark here, but based on everything you've done and the symptoms- to me it sounds like you need to replace the ignition module. When it gets hot, the circuit is opening up and quits firing the plug so it dies. Then after it cools off, the circuit will close, and it will start up just fine then die again after it gets hot. Again, just guessing here, but it sounds like the problem to me. Here's a link based on the model you've given. Good luck, G.

Here's an excellent article on how to adjust the carb. Hope this helps, G.

You wouldn't happen to know the carb H L settings do you?
They would be adjusted to the specific engine so the settings would be different from engine to engine. Here is a good writeup on the procedure that might help. Good luck, G.

What's the hi low setting?
You didnt even show putting the carb back on
Apparently you did watch. It wasn't a how-to or it would've been titled as such. G.
Would've appreciated a little more footage showing how you got the lines in the little holes. Not much help there.
Yeah David- this video really wasn't a how-to. It was just something I had going on. Take care, G.
I watched this video so I didn't have to search to find out what size gas line I needed..... I guess I'll cut it short and go search what size of gas line I need. :( SMH.... I watched 9 videos yesterday trying to find out what size wrenches I needed to pull my starter on my S10.... and not one of them could give me that satisfaction.... so.... thumbs down to ya'll..... laterz
That's exactly how it's done- you take a piece to the store and match it up. As for wrenches, it it does't go on- it's too small. If it goes on but doesn't turn the fastener- it's too big. Goldilocks man... lol. Laterz Haterz.
ice storms have nothing at all to do with a fuel line replacement... make the video about the topic headline... not rambling adventure nonsense
It does in the sense that had it not happened, there would be no video. It wasn't a how-to anyway, just something I had going on. A couple of sentences sure got you twisted...lol. You must be a blast at a party smacking hands with your ruler to keep the conversations on course... Good luck, G.
Talking way too much to watch
Then don't . G.
The police are coming, stop makin noise
They sure got here quick! I made a break for it but the dog found me curled up in the bushes... G.
Dude you talk more than show... talk less!!!!
Less talk you want? How's this?- FU! Better?
