Just another junk chainsaw

I'll check again for another line. But that little nylon connector that was somehow installed to connect the gas line from bulb to the gas line in the fuel tank is the only connection to the tank. I still have no idea how they would have gotten that little nylon connector pushed into the fuel tank hole.
Probably before they sealed the plastic halves together.

Yeah, Hemostats. Great for clamping off a spirting artery, stiches, etc, and roach clip ! LOL

Normally with poulan you have a .080 id .140 od line that connects between the fuel filter and the carb intake nipple. A 3/32 id 3/16 od line from the other carb nipple to the short nipple on the primer, and then the same size line from the long nipple on the primer back into the tank. the white nylon connected is inserted in the end of the line that goes to the primer and is pulled through the hole in the tank from the inside until the nylon fitting butts up against the inside of the tank and then is connected to the primer. that nylon connector just keeps the end of the return line from being pulled out of the tank, and can be left off is you choose.

you're in Tn. Next time you're in Al. stop by and you can have it ! LOL

I just mailed my wild thang to a guy in MI for some build thing. I hated that saw, but it always started so I couldn't throw it away. Maybe it kept my other saws in line just by being reliable. Some guy posted looking for some green and purple. I couldn't box it up fast enough. Hell, I even payed the shipping. Told him to pay it forward.

Thanks for the offer, but I just don't see myself coming to get yours. At the same time, I hate throwing something that works away. Fix it and donate it. Someone less fortunate than you could prolly use it. Or throw it away. Lol

You mail it to Joe? Was it the strato one?

Sawfest in Ohio Oct 15th. Wild thing build off is why.

Then a clone wars with 660's.

Racing classes for saws too.

Last years shirt.

Pic of what your working with. One line with plastic connector in tank is just a return line. On bottom right side most times.
Left side under carb with fuel filter is the fuel line to carb.

You messing with a NON strato or strato? Some routing are different.


If yours is a newer strato it could be different routing.

Check your routing to see if like this older 2150.

If I recall right the primer lines were all the same size. Only the line from tank with fuel filter on end to carb was smaller.

This was the fuel line routing on this poulan 2150. Marked them A B C and at both end areas to show routing.

Holy small world batman. Yes it was to Joe. I think it is a strato, only 40cc not the big 42cc one. Lol

He did a video of it stock already for us before digging in it. Chainsaw Repair group FB.

I was telling him he needs the better non strato one for a build. Hope he finds one of those too.

I just subscribed to his YouTube channel. I don't use Facebook, so won't see what goes on there. Good luck Joe!

well, I went out to day and worked on it again.
Got it to run somewhat.... Somewhat meaning as long as I pump fuel bulb, it will run.
I pump the bulb, it starts running. then it quits.

I don't believe the carb is pulling gas from the bulb to keep it running.
Bad carb ?? IDK.

The ser # is 06058D301873-1
family: 6pwes0424ck
40cc 18'' wild thing

How would I know if it's a strato (what ever that is) mod. ?

From what you say it's strato. 4018 wildthing like in video is strato. Has air inlet at top.

This shows strato carb.

The pictures in post 1211 are of a stratocharged saw. And the primer doesn't put gas into the carb, it pulls the gas through the carb, and then puts it back into the tank. reversing the lines where the primer puts fuel into the carb will cause it to dump the entire fuel tank into the saw while setting on the shelf.

 

[kenmac]

So, the line doesn't come from the tank, to the bulb then to the top line on the carb ?
When I push the bulb, gas comes from the tank, fills the bulb and pushes it up to the top of the carb.
You are saying the line from the tank needs to go on the non suction side of the bulb ?
There are three lines on the carb

in this pic, B comes from tank, to bulb comes out of the bulb as C to the carb.
is B on the suction side of the bulb, and when bulb is pressed, puts fuel to C ?
Then A is a return of course.

I have mine routed where when pushing the bulb, it draws fuel from the tank and fills line C with fuel. But it seems like it runs the carb out of fuel and stops.
Is it possible I have the lines routed wrong ?, Or just a bad carb ?

C connects to the short barb on the primer and B connects to the long barb on the tank. Fuel flow should be from tank to what would be Line A through the carb, to line C to the short barb on primer and then from the long barb on primer to line B back into the tank.

 

[kenmac]

B had the fuel filter on it and went to the primer bulb when I removed the line. A appears to be the return line and just barley stuck in the hole (not down into the gas) in the top of the tank with no filter.

So I don't understand how when the primer is pushed, it can draw gas through Line A, through the carb, then though line C, then Back through the tank through line B, which has the fuel filter installed.

I just may have it so screwed, I need to take it and get is straightened out

 

[MossRoad]

The fuel filter takes the fuel directly to the carb.

Then there is a line from the carb to the primer bulb.

Then there is a line from the primer bulb back to the tank.

When you push the primer bulb in, it pushes fuel towards the tank.

When you let the plumber bulb out, it sucks from the carb. This creates a suction in the carb, that sucks fuel from the filter.

Most people think the primer bulb pushes fuel towards the carb. It does not. It pulls it through the carb with suction.

Hope that helps.

 

[MossRoad]

Your carb is different, but the same principle applies.

 

[kenmac]

I think I'm also going to purchase a new carb.
Can you tell me if the carb in the 1st pic will work instead of the carb in the 2nd pic which is like the carb. on my saw ?

They appear to be the same except for the black plastic linkage vs different linkage in the first pic

Looks like it should operate, but is it listed for your saw. Jet and Venturi size is the real question.

The fuel filter is supposed to be on the A line. Most people will assume that the fuel line to the carb is the large line but it is the small line that is supposed to have the fuel filter and go to the carb. The large line is the return from the primer and will normally terminate just inside the tank
