The fuel filter is a good place to start, but you are likely to also find dry, cracked or broken fuel lines that need replaced. If that doesn't get you running, you might need a carb kit. Is that an XL-12? O

I’m not sure what kind model it is sorry. I will order new fuel lines too as that was the case when I maintenances my rotor tiller. Do you know if I can use any chainsaw fuel filter or do I have to order specific ones?
I can't think of any of my two dozen saws that requires a specific fuel filter, but without knowing the model of your saw, I can't really say. Is there a model number/serial number sticker on your saw? O

You should be able to use any fuel filter really, but I’m not certain as Overlooker said. I have a very similar saw. Also like Overlooker said, if new fuel lines and filter don’t do the trick, you’ll probably have to rebuild the carburetor. Nice saw!
I'd start with cleaning that saw first. You won't be able to make repairs without getting dirt where you don't want it.
An XL12 is likely to have the large felt wick inside the tank, not a flopping fuel line. The fuel line in that case is all external. Look for the filter thru the tank opening on the bar side.

Also, that's a Homelite (not homesite) XL12.
