Poulan Micro XXV 25 fuel line replacement

Help Support Arborist Forum:
I just did this repair to mine and it worked great, unfortunately, it seems that I now have a leak where the fuel line comes throught the tank. Any idea what "glue" would work the best to seal up the hole?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Welcome Jason.
First off tell us what kind and what size line did you use?
If right the line should be tight in the hole in the tank and wont leak. No glue needed or recommended.
To be honest, the line was unmarked.
I bought it at the local Chainsaw place (sells STIHL saws), and it does fit fairly tightly in the hole. It's odd, the fuel "wicks" out the hole. At an alarming rate.
Let me get a pic of the line.

I pulled the tubing out a bit and it is visibly constricted. It's only been in there for a month or so. The only text I can find on the line is 40-A.
Phone is not letting me post pictures for some reason. The tubing looks exactly like the stuff outlined in this thread.
Although, if there is better tubing out there I'm not against replacing it.

Did it leak from the get go or did it just now start leaking a month later?
I'm going to say that it recently started leaking, but that may be because I had not filled the tank fully.
Also, I have only run the Stihl premixed fuel through this saw since the new tubing. View attachment 304724
here is a pic. I have tried to use a bit of the "seal all" stuff from Autozone. It stuck beautifully to the tubing but not the tank itself.

Ok that explains a lot. 30 day's would have been long enough to damage the new line if it had been exposed to a high concentration of ethanol, but since you have only run canned fuel in it that's not likely the problem.
I think the hole in the plastic tank has been stretched out. You can probably fix that by using a .211 X .117 fuel line in the tank to the barbed fitting. The bigger diameter line should seal the tank hole fine that way.

Thanks! I'll try to dig some up!
I managed to find some 6mmx3mm tubing, will that cause too much of a constriction? (you recommended 5.4mmx3mm) .6mm seems to be pretty small, but who knows.
I'll probably just pick up a piece and see if it allows flow through the tank orifice. I have not Mic'ed the hole, so it's not like you have any clue how big the hole is lol.
Again, thanks for your help!

damnit, There is also a crack where the tab is at the base of the fuel tank. It only leaks when the tank is in the saw and everything is tightened down..
Guess I get to try out plastic welding..

I got an old chainsaw Craftsman 2.0, with model number 358598840, and I cannot find this model number on any search.
Can someone please help me identify this model Carburetor ?
I would like to buy a Carburetor and gas line kit to replace it; there is plenty on Amazon, but I cannot figure out which one I need.
I attached a couple of photos as well.
Much appreciated

Do you have photo of the carb I just ran new line and filter on a sachs version of this saw yesterday
Just a poulan micro 33cc 2000
Should be the walbro one. If you have carb just buy the kit and install it aka rebuild in 30mins time.
I like using echo oem as 1 piece now days. Screw 2 lines with insert.

Yes, that looks like it.
Can you please point me to the proper rebuild kit?
