Hillbilly fix, Homelite Super XL fuel line

[Trigger-Time]

Wanted to see If it would run........but fuel line was cracked into.

I only had a very Short piece of fuel line and a straw thing from
a can of carb cleaner, worked like a top, if it cuts ok I will
spend the money...............

You can see it run

Looks good to me! Homelite XLAOs have so much personality the thing might even work harder for you. If I were you, I might even forget to fix it for a while.

I never thought about the straw thingie, but have used a small piece of the copper oil lines some of the old Homies had to splice a fuel line together.

excellent bodge! If it works, it's fair enough.

 

[Trigger-Time]

The splice was just to see if it would run......the straw has a very small ID
and don't think I would trust it for very long.

I love it!!!.....great ideer!

 

[Trigger-Time]

Can someone tell me what the OD & ID of the fuel line should be?

I'm not at Home to check size of line........but would like to get fuel
line on way home.

Molded fuel line

I don't know if the Super is similar to the XL-12, they look about the same. My XL-12 has a molded fuel line that you can get at a bunch of online places. If it is the same, I would think there are sponsers here that carry them.

Got a chance to leave work a little early

Not going to keep saw so don't think I will mess with fuel line,
sell it needed a fuel line, but I did want to see how it cut.
Dead hard white oak.......after wife left with camera cut some
green wood, should have vid the green wood..........much faster.
Run out one full tank of mix.

Sorry about crappy vid, tried diff setting on camera to make down load faster.
