Good. I also

Great video for DIY repair. Our Poulan Wild Thing 2375 has the same carburetor as your Poulan 2050. Use silcone gel lubricant for the fuel lines and fittings for easier installation. A little goes a long way. Check the muffler while you have it apart, our exhaust gasket was installed upside down from the factory and was bogging the saw down erratically. Now that the exhaust gasket is flipped over to match the exhaust port, the saw responds fast with no bog. ❤

Thanks for watching.

Just to share an extra tip: When you’re disassembling a small engine, take a LOT of pictures, and take them from different angles. It’s easy to forget where the fuel lines go, how they were routed, or what hole the throttle cable went into. Take pictures and then take even more pictures. You can’t have enough. You’ll thank yourself for doing it, when you’re putting it back together.

That duckbill valve that you found is for venting the gas cap. It should snap into a raised ring that is opposite the vent hole on the inside of the cap, with the bill protruding towards the tank when assembled. These commonly work their way out due to vibration.

I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle kzread.infoUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.

my sisters saw was left for ten years sitting in her garage..the fuel lines were all brittle and broke..thanks dude..helped me out greatly..I liked

A few comments: My 2150 Poulan had Allen screws (7/64") for the primer bulb. And I found that slightly stretching the end of the plastic tube end with one jaw of my needle-nose pliers made it easier to get on the connection nipple. Also, extra-long needle-nose pliers worked great for the larger return line; I could grab the tube end, and use the case for leverage so I was pulling the tube straight thru the hole. Twisting and pushing the outside section helped (I think). For the smaller fuel line, small needle-nose pliers with a 90 degree bend did the trick. An inspection mirror also helps; you can see that you have enough tube to grab, rather than guessing.

Needed to understand the fuel line routing for a broken 2050 I have been repairing. Did the trick nicely, thank you!

I went a different route as I needed to get the work done ASAP and could not find fuel lines sourced locally. Drilled out both holes to 7/32". Substituted 1/4" black neoprene hose which I could finesse through holes. As for the pull through stop on the air hose from the primer bulb to the tank, I had a few empty eye drop bottles hanging around and sliced off the tip from one of them. It fit snuggly and prevented the hose from pulling back through from the tank. As you indicated in the video, that hose needs to be situated at the tank ceiling. Reassembled and tuned the carburetor. Worked fine and finished the job. I DRAINED THE TANK TO PREVENT THE REMAINING GAS FROM DOING A NUMBER ON THE HOSES.

That black clip looks like it belongs on the fuel cap. At one time it was tied to a plastic ring holder that keeps the cap dangling while you refuel so you don't lose the cap. I found mine completely off the cap and the keeper and the black clip in the tank. It just pushes back into the center of the inside of the cap. In your case the keeper is missing. So as you say it really does very little. Great video. Thanks for sharing!

Good effort on the repair. One thing to keep in mind is that these saws do NOT like ethanol. Over time it eats up fuel lines, weakens diaphrams, and also swells gas caps. Gas caps will return to original size after a few days of drying out. Don't run ethanol gas.

Nice video. But I think I found a better way to get the fuel lines through the tank. Besides I didn’t have foreceps. Get a needle and some strong thread. Push the needle through the line and tie off. Leave enough thread so the needle will dangle close to the fill hole. Grab the needle and pull slowly. Everything else is the same procedure.

just a minor point...those are actually hemastats you're using, not forceps.

you can use warm water to soften the tubes. using a heat gun will crispify the rubber tube.
