homelite super 2 oil lines

[dsell]

Tygon line is not really recommended for oil and pulse lines but I've used it when in a pinch and they work for a long time. If you're a purist you'd probably use the neoprene line.

Never heard this, does the oil kill the Tygon? I've used Tygon on the oil lines for these saws, but never kept them long enough to see how long it lasts.

Don't know, just what I saw on this site. They said to not use the Tygon for pulse lines so I assumed it was because of the oil. Maybe it's because of all the flexing that the pulse line goes through on those anti-vibe saws. Not to worry though, I've used it for both on these saws and never had it to fail. Super 2 saws don't have a pulse line except the one to the oil tank but it's from the crankcase so I guess it would be included.

Tygon is fine for oil lines. It doesn't do so well in an impulse application because it doesn't tolerate high heat well.

I knew there was something I wasn't seeing. Thanks, Aaron.
No big deal in my Super 2, it doesn't get run long enough to generate any high heat..
