Wright 122 Chainsaw (I believe may be same as Poulan S25DA)
My initial question was three or four postings higher in the thread.
Newbie still not got the hang of posting-replyin and quoting
So I need pull gas tank to run a new line
No.
Just be mindful of the little white barbed fitting for the vent line. Easy to shake out of the tank and lose if it has already fallen off. Cut the lines at a long angle to form a point. This aids in initially pulling the lines through the holes. Fish a wire into each hole, hook on and pull into tank through the filler hole. Attach new duckbill to fitting and line and seat into vent hole. Fuel line should just friction fit. Trim and tuck the vent line back into the saw under the switch to an area clear of dust/ debris. Make sure it is not in the way of the long cover screw as it can be a nuisance when trying to find the blind hole that accepts the long screw once the cover is in place.

Wright 122 Chainsaw (aka Poulan S25DA)
Here are a bunch of manuals for anyone who ever searches for this 40 year old saw.
I scanned the user manual earlier today and kcomp1863 gave me the service manual and parts lists.
The back cover of the user manual has a date of 1976.
Apologies if I should be posting these somewhere else on the site.... but at least this way they will show up in searches for anyone who needs them.
Very difficult to find this information online.. we both scanned our paper copies to get these documents.

If you look at the rear top handle mount, it's definitely a CVA. Great little saws. Lots of power.
I'll send you a link to the repair manual. Very good instructions on the fuel and vent lines replacement.
As Cory said, there is no need to pull the tank. The manual says yes but I don't know why. It's easy with the tank in.
It will show up in your in box.
I saved them just in case

Those pictures were from kcomp1863
Here's my machine that started the whole fuel line question in the first place.
This one really IS a Wright 122. In amazing cosmetic condition.
Wish me some newbie luck... I don't really have a clue..... yet!

That's a S25DA. and a real beauty!
I have one and am looking for a CVA at the right price. The DA's will shake your teeth out. Very good power for a 38cc saw.

I concur with Tim. Strong saws - s25da - in the softwood around here.

Very impressive in hard dry ash as well. I tried it one day on some firewood despite the vibration. I was very impressed. I even noodled some gnarly pieces.

I have the CVA version and actually used it quite a bit this last summer. Great little saw with good power, definitely worth getting running.
Iam thinking a carb rebuild and new lines to get it running

Probably, if it ran before most likely that'll do it.
I can forward you a copy of the service manual tonight.

Thanks for the manual! I also uploaded several manuals in a posting a few messages higher up in this thread.
I'm going to persist with the fuel line simply because I started... but the piston (and therefore probably the cylinder) is/are scarred.
I got 100 pressure using an inexpensive car compression tester. I'm guessing a healthy engine would give 120 or higher right?
I may just decide to put this machine to one side until I've built up some more expertise on other equipment..
and then decide if I want to pay the cost for parts.. at least those parts ARE available.. at a price.
Not sure why I think this might be interesting to anyone.. but here's a picture of the trashed piston looking through the exhaust port.
I guess when you've seen one you've seen them all.

Ouch.. I just learned that too... but I'm still in denial... as a newbie... I still live in hope that my ultrasound carb cleaner may breathe life back into at least ONE machine... one day... if I speak nicely to them ;-)
