Well I B, there is 3 lines after all on the red machine, 1 from the saw base tank area to the right side of carb and 2 from the primer. Being you have no primer, you probably only need 2. Just guessing OK.

Cool, here is what I need to know. Where do the lines come from? If I hear you right, the one going to the carb for the gas goes straight down from the carb to the bottom right area, same as mine (good!). Now, what about those two primer lines? I know the small line goes to the carb from the primer, but where does the big line go?
Here is a pic of what I have. The line closest to the camera is the one plugged off that is suppose to go to the primer, the other line goes straight down to the tank. It leaks around the area where the line goes through, but I think it is due to the line being old/brittle.

Walbro carb. And really I just need to know where the other primer line goes. If it goes back in the tank that means there is a hole there with no line in it that I need to fill. But I don't see anywhere where it would go...

I'm on my way out right now, and I normally don't give out my number (no offense). My aim screen name is joecool41485 though, maybe later we can figure it out on there if we can't get it here.
No problem. Do you want to call me? and go from there?

I actually think I have it figured out. Now I need to decide wether to buy the line and filter from poulan, sears, or go to my local saw dealer and see if they can hook me up. It's a Stihl place, but I'm sure fuel line is pretty generic.
Joe , a good hardware store probably has the fuel line and starter rope for your saw .

I checked Aubuchon Hardware (local store around here) and they didn't have anything smaller than 1/8" ID line and apparently I need 0.080" ID 0.140" OD line, that and I need a filter to go with it. No starter rope needed, thats one of the few things on the saw that is mint.
Joe , did you find the return fuel line hole in your tank to be on the right side of the tank ?

I don't think this saw has a return line. I found only one hole in the tank. When looking from the trigger side of the saw, straight down it is on the right hand side under the carb.
Joe , you might get a better view if you open the gas cap and look inside the tank . My PP220 had the feed fuel line with filter aft and the return line forward on the right near the carb . Just like the red saw picture that Cut4fun posted . Is your saw built like the red saw ?

Very similar. Although I couldn't tell where his feed fuel line was coming from. I'll have a look-see tomorrow and see if I can find anything via looking in the tank. I can't imagine I will though, seeing as there are no other apparent holes on top...

I actually got anxious and went out and checked, no other holes. I looked around real well on the inside of the tank with no luck. Right near the cap there was a pin hole, probably some sort of vent I would assume. Also, I took my flashlight and shined it in the tank with the light off in the room, light came pouring out the hole I knew about, and no other light came out of the tank. I'd same I'm good to go, one hole in this tank.

It may not. Don't know about the little Craftsman. But if he had a screw in the primer bulb, then he may have added a screw to the hole in the tank as well. See any screws on the top side of the tank? It probably shouldn't be there. Just a thought.

Quite possible...I don't remember seeing any screws in there other than the one holding the ground wire in place over by the on/off switch. But, if he did put a screw in that hole it's ok with me as I'm not hooking the primer up anyway. It's getting pulled and this will be a choke only saw.

I just found a screw near the primer, about 1" from it that definetly use to be a hole for a line. Now, is that hole suppose to be the gas in line hole or the one directly down from the carb? The one down from the carb looks bigger than the one with the screw in it, and from what I gather, the only big line comes off the primer, making me think the one with the screw in it is the one that is suppose to have the gas line running through it.
Joe , my PP220 has the fuel line with the filter going through the hole closest to the primer bulb and fuel cap .
