I've never changed a fuel line on a chain saw. I have 5 saws and this is the first one to ever crack on me. Is this a complicated or simple fix? Any pointers on how to change an MS-250 fuel line is appreciated.
Inserting a new fuel line into the tank can be a pain. There are a few ways to make it easier. 1st, make a mental note to where the fuel filter is situated inside the tank, then proceed. One way, is to slice one end of the new fuel line so that the end makes a long point. Shove it through the port on the tank, then with a pair of long needle nose pliers or tweesers (forsips are best), grasp the pointed tip of the line and pull it through. Snip off the sliced piece, and reinstall the filter, and adjust the fuel filter into its proper place in the tank.
You are way over your head there..,.
Nice cow!!!
It is easiest to remove the carb, but not neccessary. If you have a cracked fuel line, going through the carb would be advised as crud is likely in your carb.
But, empty the tank, get some tweezers or a hook and snag the filter, and pull it out of the tank and remove it from the fuel line, then with a flat tipped screwdriver, pry up on the fuel line where it presses in the top of the tank.
Pull it out, and reinstall the new line in the reverse order.
On this particular saw it is a breeze. head to your dealer and get the proper one for this saw. Like about $4.00 Remove line from carb.Drain the tank. At this point I cut the old line and pulled the old line through the tank.I took some grease and place it around the new line that goes into the tank.It will take some stretching but should pop right in. Check length of line and connect gas filter, then connect to carb. Nothing to it.Ken
Not long ago I posted detailed instructions on dissasembly and reassembly of the 025/250 while replacing the fuel line.
Just take a flat tipped screwdriver and flip out the old one, you'll see what you need to do.
You won't hurt it, you are replacing it any way.
Just try to work it in from the top, start the grommet in on one edge, and work in in with a small screwdriver, the lines are pretty tough,
but still be gentle. The flat edge of the grommet lines up with the seam in the tank.
