Getting my saw in half?

Think the above might be your solution.

I cant 100% remember but i did the fuel lines on one of these saws, there are hundreds of variants out there in different branding and im pretty sure i had to remove the handle to get at the grommet that holds the fuel pipes. On re assemble the oil pipe never fitted back properly and it pissed oil out all the time. Got sick of seeing the thing eventually and threw it in the skip.

Many of these cheap machines don't stand much disassembly and rebuilding because of self tapping screws in plastic cases often strip.

 

This saw is the only one I have had where the oil runs out before the fuel. I purposely kept it to lend to people who ask, not being happy lending out my working saws but since I was given it no one has asked for one. Shame the OP is in Chepstow or he could have it.

Ha, fuel runs out before oil on mine, and it must have cut 50 odd M3 of wood over the past ten years! For the princely cost of £70 odd. If you were closer I'd probably have it! 😊

You could list a photo. It may help us see what you are dealing with....or confuse us more!

I think I've figured it out, thanks. Primer bulb and hose ordered. If I can't fix it, I'll be back with more photos!

 

(The hose that I thought needed to come out of the bottom of the tank / under the handle seems to be some sort of breather hose - it has a screw in the end. The hose that has broken goes into the grommet under the carb, top of the tank, so easier to get to).

Got it all back together eventually, and the bastard works!! It holds fuel, and it still runs as well. Hooray. (I wasn't sure I'd ever be able to get it back together again correctly)

 

Thanks for the help, folks.
