Fuel leak

[Mama Tried]

Hey guys, new to the site.

Today I went to use my ms 210 and noticed that it was leaking fuel so I took the fuel cap off and put it back on thinking I didnt have the cap on all the way lie I did on the 101 pole saw the other day but it still leaked. Pulled the air filer cover off and saw that the fuel was coming from around the top of the tank. Is there a common leak spot on these saws? I havent torn it apart yet to check the fuel lines or the top of the tank just wanted to see if it was a common problem.

They should not leak. Almost guaranteed to be your fuel line.

took the fuel line closest the cap off and found out the nipple on the tank is half broken off. How hard is it to replace the tank? how does it come apart? I cant figure out the rubber mounts.

PITA... it's the entire engine cradle.


You're talking about the fuel vent. Drill out the vent nipple hole to suit a small plastic barb nipple or tiny brass tube, degrease, roughen surface, JB weld it, and replace the vent tube.
