My Grandpa gave me a chainsaw in exchange for some tree work, but the primer bulb was busted. Upon tearing it apart, the fuel lines were all crumbs floating around…your video helped me greatly, got that sucker running tonight! Thank you sir
This is the best video to show detail on how to change fuel line and put the chainsaw back together. Have never had to replace fuel lines and this walked me right thru!! Thank you!!
Thanks, big help with the fuel line issue I have. At the 6:40 mark, I'm more of a big fan of the cell phone pics so I can refer to the parts layouts. Thanks again Greasy...
Fantastic - thanks so much. The saw now runs but I need an operator presence spring - it must have flown off when I cracked open the case. Great video though - cool how you have your head as an inset and can narrate with great sound quality. Nice touch with the music too.
For the oil line I use 5mm NBR rubberhose. What I noticed is that the oil gear on the crankshaft is not locked with a key against rotation. it's spring loaded under the flywheel and hold on by friction. I used loctite press fit to fix the worm gear on the cranskshaft. I also noticed the oiltank vent is clogged or stick together of by the use of biobased oil. Also be very carefull with repositioning the flywheel especially with the spring underneath pushing it up out of key position.
Great video. Bought mine in 90's sometime and rarely use it, so now it needs this whole procedure done. On the bottom of saw it says Walbro carb. Can't seem to find a kit for it. Looking for good parts dealer online. Any help would be great. This was perfect size saw for what I needed and liked it a lot.
You'll need to remove the carb and get all the numbers off it then go to Walbros site and find the kit number. Fromm there most any shop can get you the kit.
I just spent way to long fixing a cracked bar oil tank fill spout on a McCulloch 3516. It has a very similar tank to the 3200. Have you run across this and is it possible to just buy a new tank somewhere? 😎
The "taper" we cut on the tubing is what I call a "quill". All of that Tygon tubing I see sold for small engine repair is of that yellow tint instead of the clear type sold in hardware stores. I wonder if there is a difference?
Dunno, never bought fuel line in a hardware store. I've always just used whatever brand the shop was stocking without giving it much thought. I've never had much for problems with it so never suggested a change.
I had one of those in 1998. I got it for $99 at Target I believe. Ran good, but was pain for me to start being a Southpaw. My fingernails would get caught on the air box cover when pulling the rope. I ripped fingernails several times.
Why is there two holes in the gas tank. I believe you said input vs output but i still can't figure out where the second fuel line goes into if there's no port to connect to on the carburetor there's one coming from the tank into the left side and the premier bulb to right side of carburetor do I need a splitter so to speak but where does it go to
Its a big circle with the primer, carb and fuel tank all players. The line from the tank with the filter goes to the clutch side of the carb. Then from the other side of the carb run a line to the short stem of the primer. Now the primer has just one long stem left and that is the return line to the tank.
Ya you'll get that. I know I could make better videos if I were making videos on my time just for youtube. Thats not the case. I'm on the clock at work just recording the event. The boss don't pay me to "make videos" but he will let me record repairs. Thanks for watching.

I also just benefited from your video to change the gas, & oil lines on my 2015 McC, and fired it up for the first time in 12yrs. Runs great! Thx!
12 years! Good job with the repair!
The taper cut on the oil and fuel line....I"m impressed. Kudos to you!
Thanks for watching!
I just used this video to repair my 1998 and it works awesome. $11.00 in parts and I'm back in action. Thank you for the easy to follow instructions.
I'm glad to have helped!
Same! Thanks for the great video.

Good job on that repair. Thanks for watching!
Awesome work , I was wondering were I can find parts for my Mac 3200 ?
Sorry, dunno. Some mac model parts are available through Husqvarna dealers but not the 3200.
@@TheGreasyShopRag thank you and keep up the good work
Thanks man! This one one of the best diy videos I’ve ever used.
Glad to hear it. Thanks for watching!
Great direction

It doesn't look like that tank is available anymore.
Thank you. so very helpful .

Ouch!
Phenomenal video thank you.
You're welcome. I hope it helped.
It’s 9 o’clock here I’ve got the saw part then think dang can’t get the tank off let me see if someone knows 😅
The supply line with a filter will go to the bottom of the tank but how far into the tank does the return line need to go
Just far enough so it won't get pulled out accidentally. Maybe up to an inch.
Do you have a part number for the air filter media you cut and used?
Thanks
You're welcome.

Where can I get a chain tensioner kit for a MAC 32 chainsaw? Thank you
Have you checked ebay?
My carb's return line is smaller diameter than the fuel line and is loose and just spins. I thought this was possible yet its not looking good.
Ya I don't know why they felt two different sizes was the way to go.
Wish I new the factory setting for H and L to start the tuning process
I don't have any factory specs for that saw but I'd start at 1 1/2 or 2 turns on bothe screws.
I had one of these the fallopian tube was always getting stopped up.
HEHEHE 🤣
Thank you
Thanks for watching!
I'm inside one right now....you should see my carb...I got pics
When they are really bad I consider replacing them.
Chainsaw flue lines
What‘s the diameter of the fuel line?
Sorry, we sell it by the foot no matter what diameter so I rarely pay attention to sizes.
Ugh hands are un the way too much.
