Introduction
Almost all gas now contains up to 10% ethanol. Ethanol is one of the leading causes of damage to small gas engines. The alcohol can cause corrosion on rubber and plastic parts and can make gas powered yard tools almost impossible to start. I will illustrate how to replace the parts that are most common to fail,the primer bulb and fuel lines. While disassembled I will also illustrate how to replace the fuel filter and air filter of the Poulan P3314 2-Cycle Chainsaw.
Ce dont vous avez besoin
-
-
Unscrew the three T25 screws on the top cover.
-
Remove the top cover and set aside.
-
-
-
-
Using a flat head screwdriver or spudger to press the tabs on the inside of the primer bulb assembly. (This will release the primer bulb from the housing).
-
Pull the damaged primer bulb out of the engine housing.
-
Use long needle nosed pliers to disconnect the two fuel lines from the primer bulb.
-
-
-
If the primer suction line was damaged, slide the carburetor back onto the mounting bolts.
-
Attach one end of the new fuel line to the incoming fuel port on the carburetor.
-
Move the fuel line through the primer bulb housing and hold the primer bulb up to the fuel line.
-
Mark desired length and cut to size.
-
-
I want to see how the fuel filter fits inside the fuel tank. I can’t keep it from leaking around the tubing.
-
-
Attach the larger diameter fuel line (fuel filter line) to the intake inlet on the carburetor.
-
Attach the smaller diameter fuel line (fuel return line) to the return port on the primer bulb (longer nipple).
-
Slide the carburetor back onto the mounting bolts while pulling out the slack out of the fuel lines from the gas tank.
-
-
-
Reconnect the spark plug.
-
Install the top cover and secure with three T25 screws.
Terrific guidlines! I wasn't able to complete the work in 45 minutes - primarily because pulling the fuel lines through was a difficult task - but your detailed steps helped me make sense of the project. Thanks! - David Garrison

Excellent job in describing the process! Thanks!!
Hello, I noticed you might have gotten your fuel lines mixed up. Im not sure if it would make any difference in the operation of the chainsaw.
But during the disassembly stage, you have the thick fuel return line going from the purge bulb outlet port to the big hole towards the front of the fuel tank. Yet during the reassembly stage, you used this same hole for your fuel supply line instead.
The correct routing of the fuel lines is actually the way it was before you disassembled it.
Basically:
1: Thin line from right carburetor nipple gets routed through the small hole towards the rear of the fuel tank and is hooked up to the fuel filter inside.
2: Thick line goes from left carburetor nipple to the short nipple on the purge bulb.
3: And finally, another thick line goes from the long nipple of the purge bulb to the big hole towards the front of the fuel tank.
very clear and well explained, I followed instructions and replaced both fuel lines. The fuel, heat and time just disintegrates these lines. Thanks
Thank you so much for all the time and effort to make the tough job of replacing fuel lines in these Poulan saws easier. Your thorough step-by-step instruction and photos are really appreciated. Very well done, Sir!
Thank you so much for the instructions. It would be helpful to reread the parts talking about where to connect the fuel lines and where the fuel lines are coming from and going to. I understand because I have done this same job on a similar craftsman saw. The carburetor fuel intake is on the right hand side of the carburetor if you are behind the handle as though holding the saw. When the purge bulb is pressed, fuel is purged from the bulb out the long nipple and returns to the fuel tank. When the purge bulb is released, the suction draws fuel from the fuel tank, through the carburetor, and into the short nipple of the bulb. So the path of the fuel is from the tank, through the filter, through the larger fuel line, into the right hand intake pipe of the carburetor, into the carburetor, into the purge bulb, out of the purge bulb, into the smaller fuel line and into the tank. Continually pressing the purge bulb circulates the fuel though the carburetor and back to the tank. Hope this helps someone.
I just saw someone addressed the fuel lines in a previous comment.
Thank you. Well written. I think I can do this.
Great pictorial instructions.
Got my old Poulan going again.
Thank you
