What saw is that

Wright 122 Chainsaw (I believe may be same as Poulan S25DA)

My initial question was three or four postings higher in the thread.
Newbie still not got the hang of posting-replyin and quoting

1/8" x 3/16" is what is called for. I have found a batch of Tygon at that dimension a tad loose with the barbed vent fitting and fuel line. A bit of sealant around lines afterwards to help. 3/32" x 3/16" is another option. It will seal tighter at the vent if 1/8" is sloppy.

One tank on my 3400's does not like the 1/8" at the vent. Too loose.

So I need pull gas tank to run a new line

 

[Hoggwood]

No.

Just be mindful of the little white barbed fitting for the vent line. Easy to shake out of the tank and lose if it has already fallen off. Cut the lines at a long angle to form a point. This aids in initially pulling the lines through the holes. Fish a wire into each hole, hook on and pull into tank through the filler hole. Attach new duckbill to fitting and line and seat into vent hole. Fuel line should just friction fit. Trim and tuck the vent line back into the saw under the switch to an area clear of dust/ debris. Make sure it is not in the way of the long cover screw as it can be a nuisance when trying to find the blind hole that accepts the long screw once the cover is in place.

Wright 122 Chainsaw (aka Poulan S25DA)

Here are a bunch of manuals for anyone who ever searches for this 40 year old saw.
I scanned the user manual earlier today and kcomp1863 gave me the service manual and parts lists.
The back cover of the user manual has a date of 1976.
Apologies if I should be posting these somewhere else on the site.... but at least this way they will show up in searches for anyone who needs them.
Very difficult to find this information online.. we both scanned our paper copies to get these documents.

If you look at the rear top handle mount, it's definitely a CVA. Great little saws. Lots of power.

I'll send you a link to the repair manual. Very good instructions on the fuel and vent lines replacement.

As Cory said, there is no need to pull the tank. The manual says yes but I don't know why. It's easy with the tank in.

It will show up in your in box.

I saved them just in case

Those pictures were from kcomp1863

Here's my machine that started the whole fuel line question in the first place.
This one really IS a Wright 122. In amazing cosmetic condition.
Wish me some newbie luck... I don't really have a clue..... yet!

 

[fossil]

That's a S25DA. and a real beauty!

I have one and am looking for a CVA at the right price. The DA's will shake your teeth out. Very good power for a 38cc saw.

I concur with Tim. Strong saws - s25da - in the softwood around here.

Very impressive in hard dry ash as well. I tried it one day on some firewood despite the vibration. I was very impressed. I even noodled some gnarly pieces.

I have the CVA version and actually used it quite a bit this last summer. Great little saw with good power, definitely worth getting running.

Iam thinking a carb rebuild and new lines to get it running

Probably, if it ran before most likely that'll do it.

Newbie Seeking help with fuel line for Wright 122 Chainsaw (I believe may be same as Poulan S25DA)

I hope I got this right... I'm a newbie... not sure how to start a new question....or whether to just tag onto the end of this thread?

I'm Seeking help with fuel line for Wright 122 Chainsaw (I believe same as Poulan S25DA).

The fuel lines were crispy and snapped off. I am trying to understand the fuel route and whether there is one continuous fuel line that travels from the carb through the body and then into the fuel tank ending at the fuel filter or whether there are several distinct pieces of fuel line that need to be connected to various key positions on the body.

The three pieces of crispy snapped fuel line that I have extracted are..
1) one piece several inches long from the carb to a hole on the top of the body
2) another piece several inches long underneath the pull rope leading to the tank (I believe).I can't immediately tell where the other end went.. but it must head up to the carb somehow.
3) a piece inside the tank attached to the filter

So should the replacement be one long single piece of fuel line?

I am reluctant to pick and poke around the various holes until I know for sure that I'm not going to damage or lose any special connectors that may (or may not) be inside those holes.

I have a request out to a member who posted many years ago to say he has a pristine copy of the service manual... I hope he's still around.

In the meantime, I was hoping someone might be familiar with this 40 year old saw and might understand the correct routing of the fuel line or lines.

Cheers
Stuart

I can forward you a copy of the service manual tonight.

Thanks for the manual! I also uploaded several manuals in a posting a few messages higher up in this thread.

I'm going to persist with the fuel line simply because I started... but the piston (and therefore probably the cylinder) is/are scarred.
I got 100 pressure using an inexpensive car compression tester. I'm guessing a healthy engine would give 120 or higher right?

I may just decide to put this machine to one side until I've built up some more expertise on other equipment..
and then decide if I want to pay the cost for parts.. at least those parts ARE available.. at a price.

Not sure why I think this might be interesting to anyone.. but here's a picture of the trashed piston looking through the exhaust port.
I guess when you've seen one you've seen them all.

I have learned my lesson when a 35 year old saw looks like NEW something's wrong.

Ouch.. I just learned that too... but I'm still in denial... as a newbie... I still live in hope that my ultrasound carb cleaner may breathe life back into at least ONE machine... one day... if I speak nicely to them ;-)
