I have just changed the carb on mine, I thought the same thing. It starts with taking the carb off actually, after you have taken all the covers off, screws & nuts it seems strange to 'just pull the carb off'.. When you do pull it off, as a precaution just hold the fuel pipe from stretching too much by gently holding it back with a long screwdriver or something similar & the carb & pipe will part very easy. Now when you put the carb back on , just put it back over the two long bolts & line the fuel pipe up with the same tool & push the carb pipe & home over the fuel line, mine went on so easy I thought it would blow it off but it hasn't yet & ive used the saw for about 3 1/2 hrs so far, and its been fine. I hope this helps someone.
@@bertfairbrother7745 thanks for your reply it was very reassuring. My original problem was that I had to take the carb and the carb carrier off so that I could replace the wiring loom (the kill switch and the earth lead) it was a really fiddly job, I hope that someone will do a video on it sometime as although my saw works I'm still not sure everything is back in the right place. Wouldn't make a very good surgeon would I. Once again thanks for the advice 🖖
Perfect video!!! Thank you….
With that type STIHL carburetor you can't mistake. Fuel line is attached to corpus and when putting the carburetor, it's connect properly.
How can you be sure the fuel line connects properly?
