Husqvarna 2100 manual oil pump

[snobdds]

Has anyone successfully been able to fix the manual oil pump line that runs from the side of the manual pump housing, through the tank, and into a fitting at the front of the saw. Everything is replaceable except this one line inside the tank. I see no way of fixing this without splitting the gas/oil tank, and that seems like it will never seal up again.

I don't see why Husqvarna would make something that is impossible to fix...

If I am missing something, please enlighten me.

Didn't know they had an oil line going from the tank- i have had to replace the rubber ring on the end of the hand pump so you dont get gas and oil mixing together- on the side of the bottom of the tank there is a little plate, not sure what it's function is but had to fix a leaky one once- if I remember corectly it had a coul of ball vaves in it and O rings.

This guy split the gas tank to see inside. You can see a line running from the manual oil pump housing to the front. See post #2

How exactly did you arrive at the point of needing to get in there to replace this line? I am yet to ever find one failed- but I guess if stored for a long while with the cap off and open to the atmosphere it could disintegrate?
I am sure on here somewhere there are posts regarding splitting the tank and fining something that would seal it back up again- can remember reading it. From memory it was not easy to find a product capable of sealing the joint back up.
Might be easier to find a parts saw with a dead ignition?

To be honest, I have no idea if it's bad or not. I can't see it. The original tank had a broken handle and the new (used) tank seems good. I was just wanting to replace it due to it being 40 years old.

It's one of those things, if your doing a full resto, you fix everything.

In order to "fix" something that isnt broke- you are looking to open up a whole other can of worms that might render a good secondhand tank into two useless halves- IF it comes apart as two whole halves and not snap.
It is not a rubber line that can perish- so doubt very much it needs replaced.

oh, I'm not splitting the tank. I was just seeing if there has been anyone in 40 years that had to replace it and found a way to replace it without splitting the tank.

I guess I'll just hope it's good.

Don't think I have ever had one that needed that new line and have rebuilt quite a few, had my own personal one for 30 years. and when and if I ever run into that problem I would use a different tank like mentioned
