Had to take the thing ALL the way apart just to replace a small piece of fuel line.

It's called "quality" engineering.

Just like trying to change spark plugs in a new car...pull the engine...stupid!

I have a Husquavarna chainsaw as well. Those things are beasts!

Primer bulb split on mine yesterday so I'll be taking it apart in a little while. I hope it's easier than yours. Dang Ethanol fuel kills everything.

I always buy that gas in a can 40:1 premixed and ethanol free...Small engines run way better with that stuff

Man they do. Everytime I take something apart I end up with parts left over. Guess they just throw extra stuff in there for good measure.

I Feel dumb. Did not know you could buy it in cans.

LOL, sounds like me the day after Christmas!!

Had to do the samething...out in the woods. It looked like it was going to be a simple job.

One of our local gas stations is selling ethanol free gas now, so that's all I'm using as long as it's available.

Need to get rid of the dang dems so we can get it all ethanol free.

Holy cow, if I did that I'd end up buying a new chainsaw

Yeah that ethanol gas plays havoc on everything I got. Seems I am always having small engine trouble. Mainly carbs and gas lines.

I have considered using the premixed canned ethanol free fuel. I think I'm gonna go ahead and try it out. I'm tired oof taking ooff and cleaning carbs.

Where do you get this? And what's the price?

Home Depot carries it.

Stabilizer goes a long ways... that looks like fun! and yeah they usualy have extra parts on them anyway

The pre mix stuff it freakin great!!! shelf life of 2 years after open. I love it!!!!

I always put stabilizer in all my small engine stuff, and when it gets time to use them I run a little seafoam through and that really helps, IMO.

at my dealership in Crockett (obviously too far for most of you guys) we sell Husqvarna and Stihl products. both companies have the pre-mixed gas and it is really great stuff. I had my personal trimmer have carb problems and I ran a couple cans through it and it cleaned it right up. good stuff. good luck putting it back together.

So, did you get that saw running again?

Yep, got it all back together and running. Only had one extra part left over. LOL

I have a poulan wildthing & had to replace filter & hoses back a year. I only use premium on all my small engines. Do not need stabil that way. Thanks for the info on the ethynol free gas in can. Never knew, but I will have to get some.

Great! and as you say, that one part was an "extra"...
