I have. A poulin 4218 7 years old. Went to replace carb and purge bulb but new kits don't find a seal for thru tank sidewall around gas line. Still looking but purchased a new Stihl ms251 ez start. Wow, what a dream compared to old poulin. Plenty of power for what I need, misc firewood tasks. Still looking for the rubber seal that goes on the gas tube to have a spare saw. Lots of info on this site. Thanks for sharing.

Welcome.

Are you sure about ms251 EZ start. The regular ms251 Woodboss is cheaper than ms251 C-BE easy spinner.

I hate that EZ... used several times on a neighbors ms210. It spooky to me. Even at it's best is weird that engine cranks after releasing rope. If fails to trigger or lazy trigger, I've started to lay down saw & it starts unexpectedly. Hate it.

EZ is terrible if recovering a flooded saw. Only my opinion.

Standard grommet if you can find the right size, or a piece of larger fuel line over the top of the line where it passes through the tank wall
