Help Fixing This Old Craftsman Saw

[makalandscape]

Picked up this saw at the thrift store for $5.00 with a note that says "needs new fuel line". Anyone know the size of this fuel line... Can't get a definite answer on Google... Model 358.355050... Spark plug is cj8. Anything else to change when I take it apart? I'll clean the carb as well.....
Thanks!

Looks to be a rebranded Poulan saw. I just reworked a Craftsman/Poulan 3.7 saw that needed a new fuel line and used F4040A grade Tygon tubing that measured .211" OD and .117" ID.
The tubing is available at your local saw shop.

As stated above a rebranded Poulan. Check fuel line for a Poulan 2000. The line should run from the tank up through the handle to the carburetor.

Poulan top handle saws can be an extra challenge when replacing fuel lines. I did a friends 25 DA a while back and I had to pull the flywheel off to get the job done. Hopefully you will be able to avoid this.

You should not have any problem replacing the fuel line since I am sure that it runs up through the top handle to the carburetor. In addition to cleaning the carburetor you may need to rebuild it. It is most likely a walbro which you can get a rebuild kit for it.

Thanks! I pull it apart and see how it looks...
