Thanks Mark,I have that line here,but it seems to be a bit smaller in diameter than the line that was in it As for the spring,I have a couple here that I got from you in past orders.Does the spring go on the inside of the tank or on the outside of the tank?On the saw that gave me a hard time over the winter,the spring is in the line on the inside of the tank.Whoever was in the saw had put a fuel filter on the oil line,I changed that to a Homelite oil pick up as that's all I had available.I thought the spring was to prevent the line from collapsing.Ed - I have some notes that say 3/32 x 3/16 hose that is 7-3/4" overall length with 3-1/8" extending from the oil tank. This leaves enough to make the connection at the pump, but not so long that it will form a kink. There was supposed to be a spring inside that oil line, PN93998 to keep it from kinking. In fact, someone ordered a couple of them from me this week already.

Mark,I'm trying to get the manual oiler to work.The pump on the 310 looks to be identical to the pump on the 2.1 & 2.3,only difference is the color of the pump.Ed - you can test the automatic pumps off the saw by working the piston manually and watching oil go down the inlet and back up the outlet. If that doesn't happen then the internal check valve is stuck. You can often free them up with a bit of carburetor cleaner or brake cleaner down the hole with the piston removed.
On the 300 Series saws there is (supposed to be) a check valve disk under the 90 degree fitting at the front of the pump. The fitting is a press fit and they do sometimes come off unintentionally, perhaps the disk is missing. I've got a few spare of the disk and the fitting just in case...

Mark,I highly doubt it could be the check valves.If you remember I bought a new pump body & innards for it back a couple of months ago.Ed - you can test the automatic pumps off the saw by working the piston manually and watching oil go down the inlet and back up the outlet.
