Nice job on the oil line! Looks perfect

How did you heat it?

After messing the first one up I started thinking why this was so hard and how can it be made easier. I made a tool to install the rivits in the badge I replaced on my recoil cover. It was an old broken screw driver that I ground to a blunt point. I thought ill see if it fits in the oil line. It was slightly bigger than the ID of the oil line. I thought great! I heated the end of the oil line with a heat gun. I heated the end of the tool a little also. I stuck the tool into the end of the oil line and flared it out a little. Heated it up again and then removed the tool and shoved it down onto the oil pump. Got it down over the second barb! I then measured the 2.9" that the instructions say it should be and cut to length. I then slid the spring in the oil line. Back to the heat just above the barb from the oil pump. Moving fast through the heat while rotating I gently started to make the bend. After a few minutes I was happy with the curve I had. Slid the oil line into the hole and out the oil trough. Heated that end as I did the other. Stuck the tool in to flare a little. Grabbed the brass insert and started it in. Used the blunt point driver to push it in! Done!

On a side note. I pulled a oil line out of an 036 I think it was and the number superseded to that kit to but I checked the numbers on the hose and it's the same hose as the larger Stihl fuel line so I just made a note to use that where that kit is shown as a replacement for normal hose

 

[PA Dan]

Yep same horrible oil line for these four saw models!
