This isn't earth shattering by no means but I think it is better than the factory version of a tygon line with those crummy grub screws on a 025 . The MS 250's have switched to kind of the same deal but much more elaborate.
This 025 came my way and it had a one of those crummy carbs that only had the L speed adjusting screws . I got it to run long enough to find out it had a hole in the fuel line and that tank vent line had a tear in it.
Awhile back I was working on a Shindawai T272 trimmer and replace the lines and breather / tank vent. After seeing this I thought those little breathers would come in handy for an 025 and any other saw that used that same grub screw set up. I ordered some extras because thy were cheap enough.
I used the part of the old fuel line with the end that goes to the carb and stuck it onto the vent tube coming out of the the gas tank. The line already had a curve in so I cut it there so the breather wouldn't be in the way of the choke and the air filter housing and then added the old breather from the trimmer that was still good.
I haven't field tested this yet but I don't see why with this won't work out. I got myself a new fully adjustable carb, new fuel line and my homemade venting system and the saw runs great. I ran the saw enough to know that the venting is working and put the saw on it's side and upside down several times while it was running with no fuel leaks so that is a good sign .
On a humorous note I fixed a saw one time that had one of those little weed eater fuel filters being used as a tank vent instead of an actual breather . It worked as long as the saw stayed upright so it wouldn't leak fuel out the top.
