020T trouble :(

[scott995]

I have just brought a stihl 020t off ebay!! Went to use it today and the fuel was everywhere all over the saw. I rang my old work mate and he said it sounded like the breather had gone and because its an old saw it needs converting to a new one. I have not got a clue how to do this at all

 

Help needed urgently!!!!!

 

Here is a pic of it...

Just get a new breather, they cost about a fiver I think. Simple to fit too...

So is it a Fuel tank breather hose I need?

Vent and filter or you can get an upgraded one, still rubbish though imo.

the upgrade kit comes with instructions that are easy to fit.

Do you know where I can get the upgrade kit from?

Looks like your saw had the old breather in which was like a porous stone, I can see in your picture the little orange rubber valve sticking out, it may be an idea to replace that at the same time, they do not come with the breather kit.
