Seems fuel line issues are the fad now days and it seems new members are popping up more and more wanting help with fuel line replacements.
I did a brief how-to on this series of saws before but not thinking ahead I posted it in the Poulan thread where it's now buried in amongst 400 or so pages making it extremely difficult to find when needed.
I know we don't need any more stickies in the chainsaw fourm but maybe at least by starting a new thread on it, it can be found easier with the search function.
I plan on doing a couple other Poulan saw series when time permits like the 25 series and Micro's at least as I know they come up a lot as well.
For now I'll show how I put the new version of Oregon brand fuel lines that is supposed to withstand 30% ethanol in my Poulan 4000. The Poulan 3400 and 3700 use the exact same fuel line setup as well.
Here is the patient my Poulan 4000 that had some ethanol damaged lines on it.
Outside of a screw driver to remove the top cover and recoil, on the Poulan here are two things that I consider necessary when doing fuel lines on almost all chainsaws.
Some thin gauge stove pipe wire from almost any hardware store and a medium size pair of curved hemostats.
Remove the air filter cover and filter. Remove the 3 screws holding the cyl cover on then lift and turn the cover to remove it.
You then need to remove the 4 screws holding the recoil and make note of where the different length screws go. Mainly remember that the shortest one goes in the uppper left corner and the long ones go in the rear by the fuel cap.
