Poulon fuel line disconnected

[DanN]

I think I finally found why I cannot start the chainsaw. Looks like a fuel line came off. Does anyone know how to go about accessing and fixing this? In the photo it is near the end of the screwdriver.

Your lines are crumbling. Take off the carb nuts and filter holder, and remove the carb.

The lines are likely hardened and broken off - common on Poulan . Dump the fuel, pull the carb and replace the lines.

TY. Is there a barb or some type of connection it goes on? The plastic just looked flat.
Another new guy question: is the fuel line somewhat universal? Where does one get it? Thanks for your patience as I’ve never repaired my chainsaw before. Seems none of my local repair shops handle Poulin brand.

The line is whole, just a tight fit through the hole to not leak. Poulan fuel line could be bought online, I am sure. You will likely need to go through the carb, hell you could get a cheapo carb online, with fuel line and filter pretty damn cheap.

What model number is the saw?

We need to know your model number for the correct one though.

I have had luck trimming a couple inches of new fuel line down into almost a string and feeding it in...then using thermostats thru the filler hole to grab the end and spin it onto the hemostats and then pull it down into the tank.

2150 model number

Seems like more parts than I need right now, but perhaps the kit would be easy. I will year what I have apart and investigate more. TY

Looks similar. I see B and C. Am I missing an “A” in the photo?

You folks were all super helpful. I found some suitable fuel lines at Lowe’s. I have fuel flowing now. The fuel goes into carb when pressing bulb. Now I have to figure out why it seems to not be igniting. I did put a new spark plug in, so the lack of spark will be the next challenge. It appears fuel goes all the way to the combustion chamber.
Getting close to just buying a new one, but now it feels like a puzzle I need to solve.

Unscrewed the new spark plug, reconnected spark plug wire, and pulled cord while watching spark plug. It does fire.Bugger all. It appears to have fire, air and fuel. SMDH.

It is easy to get the lines hooked back up wrong, so you have to be carefull.

Yeah these are not really a primer, they are a purge. Fuel is pulled from the tank into the carb by vacuum, then drawn thru the carb into the bulb then back into the tank
