Chain is backwards but fuel lines are correct. Whichever holes in the saw you use, fuel is drawn through the carb, from the fuel tank; pulled by suction from the primer(pump), from the bottom nipple on the carb-then retuned to the tank for the outlet of the primer (pump).
Couldn't trust your fuel line routing after realizing the chain was installed backwards, went elsewhere to figure it out. I have the same saw, turns out your lines are correct lol got my saw was completely missing the tank return line somehow.
Actually, the lines like the chain are backwards. The fuel filter line is on the left closest to the fuel cap. Honestly, there are too many TH-cam videos on this topic and only maybe 50% of them get it right. Even watched one where a supposedly "experienced" small engine mechanic put the fuel filter on the return line.
Exotic Creature 1 second ago Ethanol does not damage fuel lines, fool. The very proof of this is in the liquor aisle at WalMart. Vodka bottles made of cheap plastic. Do the bottles ever rot? No, they don't. Bottles of fine wine aged over a decade. Does the ethanol ever go bad there? No, it doesn't. You will see stickers or instruction manuals that say 10% ethanol is acceptable. What you will never be told is that there is no such thing as a 10% ethanol resistant fuel line. It doesn't exist. No rubber, polymer, synthetic or composite material in the world tolerates 10% ethanol by concentration but rapidly deteriorates at 11% ethanol. The damage comes from all the volatile organic compounds added to the gasoline. The same VOC's used in paint thinner and has earned a slang term abbreviation known as BTEX. Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, and Xylene. This chemical cocktail is in ethanol free gasoline as well but not to the same concentration. That's why ethanol free gasoline is clear where as E10 is yellow. Ethanol is clear so that is not what is causing the discoloration. Whatever harm it causes is all blamed on ethanol and you are none the wiser for believing it. I don't know what kind of car you have but try this. Ask the manufacturer if the fuel system is BTEX approved. Tell me this. How is Argentina or Brazil able to run all engines big or small on 90% ethanol or greater but America, the greatest?!?!?!? cunt tree in the world so far behind the rest of the world in alternative energy technology?
@@Islamisthecultofsin No it doesn't. Paint thinners blended in gasoline do that damage. If ethanol is so god awful then why are liquor bottles made of cheap plastic? I bet you can't answer that.
@@exoticcreature3059 All I know is that the garbage that they use for fuel lines can't handle ethanol fuel. Need to do a test and see. Take two garbage fuel lines and put one in ethanol fuel and the other in ethanol-free fuel and see what happens over a year or two.
Is that hole exit only? My GF wanted me to ask you if it takes two hoses in one hole or two holes for one hose? And don't forget to lube that shit up or it'll be a struggle for a bit.
Jason Farnsworth haha I noticed his chain right away LOL and I put the lines on the way he has and I dont have any issues with my saw. Also I know he had them mixed up on the primer bulb.

It will do you much justice to realize the oil mafia is anything but your friend. This for-profit industry has successfully duped you into believing that it's better to pay 50-75% more for a product that doesn't actually last any longer and doesn't so much as give a 5% increase in engine run time over E10 gasoline.
@@exoticcreature3059 Ethanol is trash added to gasoline just like your BTEX. The higher the ethanol concentration the more profitable the product is for the producer/oil company because gasoline is expensive and ethanol is cheap. You got duped by their "ethanol isn't bad, BTEX is bad, buy our more refined (expensive) products where we don't put trash in it"
@@killer2600 Lulz, coming from someone who accepts Big Oil's word as gospel when they (big oil) have without exception, operated purely for profit. These companies are not your friend. They're not trying to help you. In fact they're very willing to kill you, an untold others during each spill that they attempt to cover up.
@@exoticcreature3059 Sounds like you're talking about yourself. I've made no claims of my own aside from the fact that ethanol is not required for gasoline to work/burn.
@@killer2600 That is so far off from my original comment. Totally unrelated. 🤨 No suitable fuels that you would use in an engine have to be mixed with others. Gasoline burns by itself just fine. Alcohol burns by itself just fine. Propane burns by itself just fine. I have never thought otherwise. I have never suggested otherwise. So I don't know how you even got the idea that I did think otherwise.
How long did you leave the primer hose? Mine was right at the top of the gas chamber before I replaced it and put it back that way. Problem is I do not think it can prime unless the tank is completely full. If tat is right, then I'll have to lengthen the hose until it goes to the bottom of the tank. Does that sound about right?
@@1bigimpact i do not have screws on on my handles. Mine is just like the one in the video. If you want to pause it on the handle there is only two pins that you knock out but they are just to hold the triggers in place.
BCtruck, BC Blades Wow! ANYBODY can make these videos I guess! The line going from the PURGE bulb (not primer- primer bulbs are the ones mounted ON the carb that PUSH the fuel through) is simply a return line. He says it’s so a vacuum doesn’t form, but that’s what a purge bulb does, it forms a vacuum that sucks, not pushes, the fuel through the carb. I guess if he runs the fuel through the carb backwards, the engine will run in reverse rotation, and the chain will work as mounted! Ha! It’s on TH-cam, it HAS to work! LOL!
Seen 5 different ways to run these fuel lines. What the crap. Take this crapola off the internet. How many people wasting their valuable time watching incorrect info.
why is it that everybody making a video has the camera jerking all over the place and say things like the bottom line goes there and the top line goes here and you have no idea what they're talking about. Just once I'd like to see a video that shows exactly what needs to be done. Geez, that camera is annoying.
Had the same problem on the same saw. Good job explaining the fuel line routing. Thanks
NO PROBLEM THANKS FOR THE GOOD FEEDBACK!

The ONLY video I could find that has the RIGHT Fuel Line connections for the Walbro WT324 Carb. THANKS.
Glad to help
That's not a primer bulb, it's a purge bulb,. It removes air from the system. Does not prime the system
you can simply drill the holes out to a larger diameter if running larger fuel lines ;)
I was thinking the same thing.
thanks. questioned who worked on this saw last and made this a quick fix!

Very helpful video, thanks man and God bless you.

When would the sun ever get to them under all those covers? It's ethanol fuel that destroys the lines, not the SUN?!!

Chains on Backward!
Damn sure is!!!
40 years ago i bought a craftsman and it wouldnt cut worth a darn because of that.
Thanks so much for this video you explain real good. Good video 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video bro nice clear picture it helped me out a lot thanks.
hey thanks for the kindness have an amazing day!
Is that hole exit only? My GF wanted me to ask you if it takes two hoses in one hole or two holes for one hose? And don't forget to lube that shit up or it'll be a struggle for a bit.
Would like to have the hose / line puller ????😢
God bless u youngman it's very much pleasing to the Almighty love love conquers all
thank you so much!!!!
I changed out all the lines and it started fine but then I tried restarting and nothing, pulled the spark plug again and it was flooded any thoughts?
Great video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
I didn’t even notice you had a similar last name as me
lol thats crazy
Thank you
2 line frm prime 1 goes to carb andnd bak to fuel tank but from where.?how?i dont see any spot for it
BEST DAMN VIDEO FOR FUEL LINES ON A CHAINSAW! VERY WELL EXPLAINED! THANK YOU!!!!
HEY THANKS FOR THE KIND WORDS I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT AND THANKS FOR WATCHING!!!
Whatched another gas line video. Guy had the lines routed wrong. Watching this helped me to run them correctly. Thank you.
Jason Farnsworth haha I noticed his chain right away LOL and I put the lines on the way he has and I dont have any issues with my saw. Also I know he had them mixed up on the primer bulb.
Jason Farnsworth I’m a Stihl tech not a poulan tech haha! Stihl makes the best saw change my mind 🤣🤣
I got exactly what I needed from this video. Thank you bro
Ur welcome thanks for watching bro please subscribe
You got it bud doing that for ya right now.
What line goes to were on primer buton
Why is your chain on backwards? Kind of hard to believe someone has chain on backwards just saying
Purge, short sucks and long nibble blows back to tank😊😊😊😊
If you use ethanol gas, it will eat up your gas line,. fuel filter in a few yrs or less. Use 100% gas or by additive.

watch a video on how the chain goes on
Gas lines are wrong
realized after lol thank you!!!!!
Sure are
Take this video down
@@brianemery8945
So What? The way to install the lines is helpful just route the same way they come off.
Nope.
Thanks for the video. How much fuel line should be in the tank?
I would say about 5 to 6 inches was able to fit in there
You might want to turn your chain around on that bar 😜
lol thanks man please subscribe!
Does anyone know hot the handle comes apart on this chainsaw to replace the trigger?
Screws on the side

What was the hook tool u used to pull fuel line thru?
Just tie fishing line on one end and pull it through. That's what i do
On the primer bulb, which line goes where. Thanks for your help. John
suction side of primer bulb goes to carb. Pressure side of bulb returns to tank.

Not properly folo
You got a lot of mistakes in this video, but because it's 3 years old, you probably know that by now, right. Just learn, and move on.
