Best video I've viewed. Straight to the point. Easy to understand. I like the way you rerouted the gas lines. Will definitely use this video to redo mine when the parts get in. Thanks
Great video. I'm currently working on the same saw and couldn't for the life of my get the carb linkage off. I'm new to small engine repair so this helped me a lot. thanks
This was great, I was struggling with this, looked at a bunch of videos you showed what to and explain it well made it easy I'm impressed with your videos keep em coming god bless......
Just did the same job, only it took me about 3 times as long. Them fuel lines did not go easy. Got them through. Thanks for helping. From St. Paul Minnesota.
Super video! Never had a gas chainsaw before, bought a used one was told all it needs is sharpening everything else is fine...NOT! No fuel was getting to the primer so I took it apart and everything was crumbled inside the tank fuel filter laying on the bottom pieces parts of fuel line everywhere but didn't know what went where. Thank you for your wonderful help.
This is the exact video i was looking for. Thanks for the great explanation and clear instructions. It gives me confidence to try this because my Poulan will not crank. Appreciate the li n k as well. THANKS!
Thanks ,for your instructional video !! I saw a couple of videos,before yours and I couldn't understand anything....your video is the best I have seen !!
Outstanding how to video for Poulan chainsaw new carb, fuel line and primer bulb installation. I subscribed so I can watch again for my chainsaw and any future videos.
Ok got a poulon pp3516avx did your video to replace carb lines and primer bulb works great runs great, do you have a video on this saw it is dumping way to much oil from the oiler, how do I fix that 😅😅
I viewed your video for the PP4218A which is my saw. However, I found the visuals and explanation much easier to follow on this video. Provided I order the correct carb, do both saws follow the same procedures and sequence of steps? Thanks for your help.
I have poulan 3816 38cc cut about 7 trees since I owned it brand new ,did it just like in video changed the carborator cut the choke rod end off , changed the tubes twice , changed fuel filter twice , changed bulb twice , changed spark plug twice it has spark , changed gas twice , cleaned out muffler ,it still will not start ! any sugestions ? Besides buy a new one !
make sure lines are correct. filter line to right of carb left of carb to short primmer nipple long primmer nipple to tank no filter. if that is correct and it is priming. dump half a waterbottle cap of mixed gas in the carb hold throttle wide open pull till it starts. if it starts you will want to turn low screw just a smidge counter clockwise. try again. after that do the high counter clockwise 1/4 turn at a time till it runs. if it didnt start first take off muffler look at piston. if you see any lines in it its fucked if not is it flooded? if flooded turn high screw clockwise till snug tight dont over tighten. that shuts fuel off. pull with trigger wide open till it fires. now cylinder is dry. turn high screw out 1/4 turn at a time till it runs. probably 3/4 to 1 and a 1/4 turns out
Im 14 and have been doing this for 2 years Here's my deal when I do these saws I do the fuel lines how they were simply because when you cut down tree which lets ne honest who cuts down a tree with this saw but if you do the filter/fuel pickup need to be to the right side of the tank or it'll run out of fuel when used on it's side
Thats a great video and your explanation break down of the fuel lines was awesome !! I changed out the fuel lines, primer bulb and carb…… still not turning over….. i am wondering if its the adjustments on the new carb….. gonna attack it again in the am!!
Plug. Fowls out. New plug try starting full throttle. Notworking? Try spraying carb cleaner in carb. Try again full throttle. Let me know ill tell you more.
@@smallengineguys okay progress….. Gapped it at .02 L was closed…… H was set at 2 1/4 turns …… and i have no idea where to set the idle screw underneath….. It popped and then ran i opened up the H another quarter turn and sounded good on the upper The L idle was unimpacted by any of the turns….. i had set it at 1 3/4 turns. I had the upper cover off and nothing over the air intake and it was smoking a bit which makes me think …. It’s a little rich or too much oil (?)……. After running it for about 3 min, i shut it down to put the cover on….. and couldnt get it to pop again with the cover on……. I am off to grab some carb cleaner…. And let it cool down 🤷🏼
@@smallengineguys just bought 2 gal of 93 and did a 40:1 mix - drained the gas…. Sprayed the carb, we’ll see if we can get it to pop in the am! Any idea on the lower screw - i think its the idle screw???
Great video. It's well done informative videos like this that'll always make someone, sometime go, 'Thank you. You've helped a lot.' Even if they don't post it. I'm thinking instead of 6x pushes on the primer button, it'll be 3-4 now. Is that about right?
A child could change a carburetor if he had access to this video. Thx vm for posting- I have a Jonsered CS2138 - it is obviously made by Poulan because it is exactly the same as this Saw …
Man, I have been going nuts with the damn Poulin. Gonna go run lines again. Thanks for the video. I used same size lines for fuel and return, hope that is ok!
If I understood correctly, the return hose, which goes between the large nipple and the fuel tank uses. the smaller line whereas the suction and fuel lines are the thicker tubes. Is that correct?
originaly it was the other way around but doing it this way prevents hoses crossing and pinching. just a trick i learned over the years. goes large line on right from filter to right side of carb. left side of carb to small nipple. long nipple to small line on left of tank no filter
@@smallengineguys Alright , was not expecting that to happen ,since is extremely tight still , and the other hole where the fuel line with the filter goes is definitely wider hole than this one I drill the hole on to, but lets see what times says >_
i have a poulanPro,, but my lines aren't like this. the one you showed pushed through the body from the fuel to the tank to the bulb on mine goes to the carb, not the primer bulb. mine wasnt running after one use,,it could be gas but I took it apart and the primer bulb line just isn't hooked to anything ,,,i pumped the bulb and could see the fuel pumping out in the body. i see no port for it at all, it was just filling the area with fuel. this can't be right. but i see no other port. i have 3 lines,,, now that its apart,, i only see where one goes, as it still is attached.
2 holes in tank one right and deep on left and shallow. right goes from filter to right of carb left of carb to short barb on primer bulb then from long barb on primer bulb to left tank hole. i promise they are both there.
Those cheap shit saws!! Swear I've seen em plumbed 6 different ways. I do it exactly like you did. Had 1 today that was set up pushing fuel through carb. So filter, primer, carb, tank.
@@smallengineguys saws ran fine till somebody thought let's put a primer on here that will mess with them.I bypassed mine and starts fine,my saw is a Poulan pro 50/20.
Finally a guy that doesn't drag it out and gets the job done

The best clearly shown video on this chainsaw out there. Thank you for doing the best.
Wow, thanks!

Great job!
Was absolutely perfect on the walk thru
Excellent walk through!!! Did the same rebuild while watching. Poulan runs good as new now.
nice!
This video is one of the best how to videos that I have seen in a long time. Keeep up the good videos ,i subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!
Good job explaining the process, now I’m ready to tackle my saw 👍🏻
You can do it!
Just picked up this exact saw (not running) and ordered the kit. Thanks for the great comprehensive video !
Glad it was helpful!

Great advice 👍 just got this one running that's been sitting around my house for years.
Enjoy it

Thanks you saved me a lot of money. I have a local shop but they don't do anything.
most shops dont work on homeowner 2 strokes. not enough money in them .

Same same.
@@smallengineguys Great - assuming you mean same carb too. Thanks for your help.
I have a poulan wold thing is this the same as this one sir?
thanks for your time
My pleasure

yep 3 to 4 is great
What’s the size of the fuel lines are they the same size?
Great job my friend
Thank you! Cheers!
Other Video are Confused ! This is Perfect My Friend!
Glad i could help
I agree. I appreciate the re engineering on the fuel lines. Lot easier to understand. Do u use non ethanol gas in ur saws? Great video.
A child could change a carburetor if he had access to this video. Thx vm for posting- I have a Jonsered CS2138 - it is obviously made by Poulan because it is exactly the same as this Saw …
lol it is a poulan if it looks like this
Sam saw I have . Same problem. Thanks a heap.
Glad it helped
Really helpful information, thank you!
glad i could help
I need the 45 degree needle nose pliers, NOW. Can't find them. Chang-a-lang girl would sell them to me in a heart beat. Got to have them.

Great tutorial ! 😎
brilliant,thank you Sir
Most welcome!
Man, I have been going nuts with the damn Poulin. Gonna go run lines again. Thanks for the video. I used same size lines for fuel and return, hope that is ok!

almost trashed my chainsaw thanks to you it runs like new
Nice!

@@smallengineguys thx so much for taking the time to reply.
great job, thanks
Thank you too!
Why is the fuel line coming in smaller than the return line to the tank.
its just what they did. doesnt make a difference. the engine will never use more fuel than it can supply
Thanks. I was going to toss mine!
Marvelous vid 👍
Thank you 👍
Bro thank you for this. Just sayin.
I have to drill that one hole to make my line go trough ... but workout pretty good !
nooooo. welp welcome to leak town. let me know when your line shrinks and leaks and you need to fix it ill do a video
@@smallengineguys Alright , was not expecting that to happen ,since is extremely tight still , and the other hole where the fuel line with the filter goes is definitely wider hole than this one I drill the hole on to, but lets see what times says >_
@@NeoJSsk you might be alright. The smaller hole takes smaller line. If you drilled it the same size as the other hole youll be fine.
great video
Thanks!
great job. are you still out there doing videos?
Yep did 3 yesterday doing 1 tomorrow

@@smallengineguys lol ok,, i will look again...thanx for reaching out
Como regular El carburador de LA poulan pro 40
Nice video
Thanks
There's 3 videos by different people and none of them have worked, my next move is a stehl dealer, at least they've got a service department.
My next chainsaw will not have a primer bulb, just a good choke system.
Smoke one for me bud.
There's a hell of a delay in your audio.
I tried this didn’t work put it in the trash 😢
Lol. Most people ask for advise first but you do you!
Цвет партнеровский что этикетки девать некуда😀
google translate is bad on this one ore your speaking gibberish. it translated to color (partner that labels have nowhere to put)
Those cheap shit saws!! Swear I've seen em plumbed 6 different ways. I do it exactly like you did. Had 1 today that was set up pushing fuel through carb. So filter, primer, carb, tank.
i do around 20 of these a week. yes do it just like i showed. although i would do a new carb. no sense fucking around when the whole kit is 15 bucks.
Только грязными руками фильтр испачкал это непорядок
it happens
I never touch the primer bulb thats what the choke is for.what idiot thought that was a good idea.
Im not sure i follow you.
@@smallengineguys saws ran fine till somebody thought let's put a primer on here that will mess with them.I bypassed mine and starts fine,my saw is a Poulan pro 50/20.
Good video. Thanks for the explanations.
