Husky 345 leaking fuel

[SierraMtns]

I am helping my uncle out by fixing up his saw. He is missing a couple parts on his tank...lol I guess this might be the reason it is leaking fuel..

The diagram shows 2 part numbers.

503 60 04-01 (Filter Plug)

501 62 98-01 (Valve Plug)

What part do I need?

I believe you need both for it to work correctly.

Did you guys disconnect the primer return or did it come off? That will leak too.

It came off when I was removing the tank. I will replace that hose too since it isnt staying on very well.

I looked a little more last night and I found this part # too.

This is a fuel tank vent too. But I don't think it will work for this 345 because it looks like the hole is off set in to the tank.

That's the one I believe is more common, it's the type I see anyway. If it's the same tank itll work I believe.

Chainsaw Guy gave me the answer.

Better you caught it now than in the future when you notice fuel running down your arm while sawing branches above your head.

Having a primer bulb, your saw is a later model that came with the one-piece vent.

Good tip in the video you found. The nipple goes out. I put a piece of old fuel line on the nipple and ran it up to the carb box, hoping the line will keep it from being lost should it come out again.
