Did you ever ask your friend how to get at that fuel line on the C-5?

Did you ever ask your friend how to get at that fuel line on the C-5?

Here's the IPL

 

[Sty57]

Fuel Line is two pieces, one in the tank and one goes to the carb. Theres a bulkhead fitting on the backside of the tank that the line hooks too.

How to you get in under the fuel tank cover to get to the bulkhead fitting? Do I have to lift the tank off?

Yes you have to pull the tank.

 

[Boomer 87]

I think yes remove the tank

 

[Kensie1988]

Well crud, I was hoping I wouldn't have to do that much work, but I guess I have to, is it possible to unbolt that tank and lift it up with ought pulling the flywheel off?

 

[Boomer 87]

My buddy says take off the carb and plastic intake, the remove the rear handle then you can screw the fitting out

Yes theirs just a few bolts that hole the whole tank assembly on.

That mite be easier than what my friend did, idk i wasnt there when it was done.

@astnmacgto here are the pictures you asked for about the coils.

 

[Kensie1988]

If I could get a craftsman/3400 for $80 should I take it?

 

[astnmacgto]

It looks like your missing the coil windings, unless this saw uses a coil setup I'm not familiar with, I would hit up the Homelite stickie for that, but as far as the broken wire goes, find the other end of it, and butt connector it together with a heat shrink butt connector. Ive done that before it doesn't hurt anything

 

[astnmacgto]

I wouldnt, those things are everywhere, 75 bucks if it's in good clean, not screwed up at all running/cutting condition

 

[Kensie1988]

10-4, which number is the coil windings in the diagram below?

 

[astnmacgto]

Number 27

 

[Kensie1988]

Ahh so I have the alternate coil setup that's at the bottom of the diagram by itself, I wonder if it's based off when the saw was produced?

 

[astnmacgto]

Looks like it, somebody more well versed in homelites could prolly fill you in on the time frames
