I watched four other videos that were trial and error and made the job look so much more difficult. Yours was no fluff, no background music, no editing parts out, and the job only took 20 minutes. Perfectly done. Thank you for showing the RIGHT way to make a how-to video! 💯
Glad it helped
Thank you sir. This was my first time changing a carb on a chainsaw. Your video made it easy to do. Two pulls and it fired right up.
Glad it helped
Worked for me. I just replaced the fuel lines and bulb and cleaned the carb. Now it stays running at idle once again! Thanks so much!
The fuel lines on my Poulan Pro PP4218AVX 42cc chainsaw were rotten and this video helped me replace them. Every step was explained and shown really well. Thank you so much!!!
no problem!
THANK YOU so much for this video!!! Excellent job of explaining carb out and reassembly.
Excellent video. My PP4218A quit. Have the kit on order. Will be doing the job. Thanks for taking the time to do this video! It's a great help!
Glad it was helpful!
Man, I cannot express enough how well done this video is. I have no idea how you managed to get such a good angle on the inside of that gas tank for showing how to feed the lines (which is the hardest part, really). Outstanding content that saves so many of us time and money.
Wow, thanks!
Thank you! Very clear instructions. A common sense approach at repairs with teaching and no lecturing.
Glad it was helpful!
Love video. I wish I had found it before I started. Once I started the video and followed along, it was simple. Thank you!
I was ready to throw mine away it had gotten so bad. Now it runs like a new machine. THANKYOU!
Great video, very informative and straightforward. My loose fuel lines are now secure and my chainsaw is running great...but now you have me wanting to change my entire carburetor. When that times comes this will be my guide.
Keep Crushing Brother!
Glad it helped
OUTSTANDING video. I have minimal technical skills and was able to perform this repair. Thank you.
Glad it helped
Best video I’ve ever seen on fuel lines replacement
Thank you for the great video! Fired up 1st try.
It was a pleasure watching you work... thank you
Glad i could help!
Thanks for showing how those fuel hoses go. Mine were missing and I was lost. Thanks a lot!!
No problem 👍
Thank you for this video and the link to the carb kit. I bought the kit from your link and it came the next day. Impressed with the kit. 🇺🇲👍
Great to hear!
Hipa has really good parts and fair prices, never had a problem with there stuff yet
Plus they have the parts in stock and fast shipping 😊😊
great parts. most are oem quality
Sorry for being anal but it's "their" not there. You must be an OTR truck driver.
Thanks. Great video. Worked perfect.
Thank you for this video! I went step by step and my saw is up and running! I linked your video on mine also. 😁
Nice work!
Hey dude. You make it look so easy! But you should slow down and explain what you are doing and why. Some of us are dummies and have never replaced a carb! You probably do it all the time. Thanks!
there is a pause option on youtube
Thank you very much for this video. Very good presentation. 👍
So nice of you
Thank you for sharing this! It helped. Salute!
Awesome video man! Great point about the carburetor gasket lining up with the impulse hole. I recently did this exact repair on the same saw and couldn't get the saw to start because the carb gasket impulse hole wasn't drilled properly and covered the hole
Glad it helped
Same issue here! bought a different kit on Amazon that showed the correct gasket in the images -- but it did not come with the kit!
Awesome video! You definitely helped me today! Thank you
Glad I could help!
THank you - helped me to fix mine :)
Glad it helped!
I ordered the carb for my pp4218A. Installed and pulled the choke out it fired the first pull. Pushed the choke in halfway pulled it again it started but didn't idol. Turned the screw out about 3/4 of a turn started and ran perfect. The carb on it was supposed to be new but wouldn't run right. Now the problem I have is when you put the top cover on the throttle cable get hung on the choke and you can't pull the choke all the way out to where it locks in place. Guess I'll have to figure that out next.
gas is only good for 3 weeks for these machines. you must buy brand new mixed gas each time you use it
9:06 sometimes i have to swedge the tubing with a phillips so it will fit.
you dont have to that was on more than enough
LEARNED A LOT THANK YOU
yup!
This video was very helpful, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I pull the intake off to do that job , it gives you a lot more elbow room and makes it easier to see what you are doing
Great video bro,
I have a question. My throttle cable keeps slipping making the carb not engage. I have to reach in the little crack in the saw between the carb breather and handle and slide it forward, but it won’t stay to engage the carb. How do I make it stay? Thank you for the straight up explanational video.
Love you’re voices .great job mate
You can hear them too!! I thought they were only in my head! Glad i could help lol.
@@smallengineguys ment to say video
@@henrymurawskibigdogrepair Lol yeah i figured. Was funny though.
I can appreciate a straight to the point, no filler instructional video like this one! Obviously you've spent a lot of time around these pieces and it shows! I was confused about the long/short fitting at the p-bulb and that's what put me here. You cleared it up for me. I also like that you changed the routing of the fuel supply and suction lines at the fuel tank! Love the use of the term "stab" that you like to use 😂. Overall, I greatly appreciate your knowledge and the time you took out of your day to help me and other viewers out!!! Thanks brother!!!! You're awesome but Joe Biden Sucks!
thanks and lol
How do I change the duck bill check valve and the fuel tank vent on my pr4218 poulan pro.
Thank you, your video made it easy and it fired right up. It does shut down after running a few minutes and I assume that a carburetor adjustment will remedy the problem. I'm curious, the second carburetor screw, the one furthest from the air filter, what does it adjust and what is the proper way to adjust it? Also, which screw should I be adjusting , given my description?
More than likely you need to turn the one closest to the air filter counter clockwise 1/4 turn or so. The other is low air fuel mixture. I'd stay away from it. Very sensitive.
Good video. However, I have one complaint. When describing the fuel lines and where they go, do one line at a time instead of getting ahead of yourself and mixing them up. I wasn't able to easily determine which fuel line (small diameter or large) ran where and why. Good video, but could have been broken down in steps more simply. Apologies for the whining...it was still VERY helpful. I've only ever used a chainsaw a few times before, nevermind replacing a complete fuel delivery system. BTW, my efforts (and yours) resulted in success. Thanx again.
You should read the other comments on this video.
Very well done.
Thank you!
Good job on that
thank you
You're welcome
You will.eventually learn that "slight" difference in choke linkage on the aftermarket carbs is a critical issue that can and has caused saws to fail to accelerate. The metal rod and lever used on the after market carbs can skip and prevent the upper butterfly to open. The upper port is the engine acceleration, high speed port and without it the saw cannot be used. The plastic lever used on the OEM carb functions like a trigger, locking carb linkage in position until the trigger is depressed, at which time the locked linkage is released.
pretty sure i showed how to correct this in the video by cutting a small piece off of the metal rod
OK thanks
Welcome
I have this same saw I'm trying to repair for a tenant. I plan on replacing the carb but first I need to figure out how to get the brake lever to disengage. I've taken it apart enough to where I should be able to get to the brake assembly but this model it appears you have to take the chassis apart. Do you have any videos related to this. Any info would be appreciated
Спасибо за это видео. Мне тоже не понравилось, расположение топливных линий. Хотел пределывать, но лень. Ведь производитель, зачем то сделал так. Ваше видео, добавило уверенности, что надо переделывать. С наилучшими пожеланиями из России.
There was a thicker and a thin line for the primer and fuel pump. Did you not use the thinner of the two for anything? Also the rope chord won’t budge when I assembled it back together.
Some take the thin line on one side dome don't. Pull the plug will it turn now?
@@smallengineguys
Got it all working. Except now there is smoke coming from the engine. Think the idle is too high, will adjust and see. Also didn’t have air filter in so could’ve been either of those 2 issues
@@hyperequity3683 bad gas to much oil. Get new gas mix it correctly 40 to 1
What are the high and low settings supposed to be set at
1 turn each
my replacement kit came w/ 2 tubes of different sizes, are you using different size tubes?
Some do some dont. This kit is for many different saws
@@smallengineguys thanks for replying… i’m fixing the same saw as in the video. is it just one size?
The old brittle gas lines broke off in the gas line holes. I'm trying to figure out how to the get the old lines out of the holes. The fuel line holes on my saw are right next to the engine instead of behind the primer bulb like the saw in your video and the holes are also much smaller. I don't think the larger line will even go through them. I know now that I need much longer needle nose plyers.
i just poke thm out with a pick
@@smallengineguys That's what I did. When I pulled in the line that goes to the filter in the gas tank I broke it twice even after I got the line al the way through the hole. I think the gas holes are slightly smaller in my saw. Love the video by the way! It was very helpful.
there is a smaller line for some of these saws
Hello, I have watched your videos a number of times and decided to take a stab at it myself.Im working with a Poulon Pro PP4218AVHD, 42cc Chainsaw. It ran prior to doing what I did and now it won't start at all. I replaced the fuel lines, gaskets and Carb along with a new spark plug gapped at .030. I have rerouted the fuel lines and adjusted the carb as you as prescribed ?????? What do you think I should try next? Thanks: Bob
it ran before you did this? why would you do it then?
@@smallengineguys It is over 10 yrs old ran 5 times in it's life and last run was 6 yrs. ago both fuel lines were brittle and cracked in the tank and the old carb had broken plastic parts, Not saying your instruction was bad just hoping you could in form why it would not start, New plug, new fuel and lines , new Carb It is in GREAT shape Good spark and compression ,
@@gekobvc first pull the muffler. Is the piston wet. Are there lines on it. Everything smooth and dry put it back together. Take water bottle cap of gss dump half in carb. Pull till it starts. Did it fire up shut off? If so adjust carb. Let me know what you find first then ill walk you threw carb adjustments.
How much for a carburetor kit now! (2024) Should you put a new carburetor in always are just fuel lines? One of my lines just broke. I will replace the primer bulb. Great video!
20 bucks or so
👏👏👏
I have this exact saw, bought it for a steal from someone who said he replaced the carb last season & drained it. Worked great the first time I used it 3 months ago, now it starts for a min but dies after a few seconds whether I use throttle or not... wondering if I should go ahead & do this repair for good measure?
yes
Don't you want to make carb adjustments WITH the air filter in place? It restricts airflow (slightly) and will affect the fuel/air mixture. You had to richen up the mixture likely because you were getting too much air in the carb (compared to having the air filter in place).
Nah makes no difference. Unless filter is old or dirty.
So instead of pushing fuel through with the primer, you're suckling it through? Not sure I trust my primer bulb to do that reliably. But good video explaining everything you're doing. .
it sucks fuel threw the carb. you have to have a direct line from tank straight to carb. if you put the primer in-between you'll get air bubbles and the saw will stall a lot
@@smallengineguys Well how about that. All these years I been jamming by thumb in the fuel bulb thinking I was vaporizing the fuel in the carb, only to find out I was just firing it into the return 🤣.
My saw was in storage for 5 years and when I grabbed it my fuel line literally disintegrated into pieces no bigger than 1/8 inch, so I really have no idea how it was run from factory.
Mine started pouring fuel.
I replaced everything with this kit, and new 50:1 fuel pre mixed and it popped like it wanted to start and then that’s it.
Any ideas?
plugs wet maybe. sometimes you gotta clean or replace plug and try again.
As it turns out on poulan has caps there is a tiny hole in the center. If it gets clogged the fuel vents from everywhere else.
Yeah.
I unclogged it with a paper clip and it cranked right up.
Poulan is some mighty evil.
Still, I replaced everything.
Now just gotta adjust the carb just right. It’s burning rich.
2 adjustment screws. 1 closest to the air filter. at full rev turn it clockwise till you hit that spot just before full rev. amzn.to/3dDQhzm
How the heck did you get the fuel line through the hole?!
lol. so if you cut the line in half lengthwise for an inch or 2 you can push it threw easy then grab with needle nose inside the tank and pull it threw
Hi what’s the size of the fuel lines? Thanks
3/16 i think
Wonder what it cost to have it fixed ??😮
I charged 80 but most are 120
does Hipa just sell carb gaskets and diaphrams
no they sell all kinds of oem quality parts. hipa360.com
I check with them first on every thing in shop
The saw I'm working on has the two different size lines I hate that.
It happens. Doesnt matter what one goes to the filter but from factory its the small one.
I strung the lines before I saw your video so I have them criss crossing like the factory had it. I watched your video to see which goes where on the primer and the carb.@@smallengineguys
What is the carb kit number
The link is closed 😢😢😢
amzn.to/3IlNExN
Poolawn lol😂
pull on. just keep pullin on it. it might start!
Did the exact same procedure, and now it will not start to save my ass.
no offense to the customer but how much of a puts do you have to be that you just globbed silicone all over the gasket thinking that would be kosher?
that is in no way the worst ive seen
just like I hold da old car togedder wit liquid nails. HEE HO.GOTTA GO .
Best way to work on a poulan is throw it in the trash and buy a Stihl
That's where I got mine from. Straight out of the trash, just need a carb and it will run fine. Looks brand new
and they're made by Husqivarna ???
@@whatever-gg2qs shhhh! Don't let our secrets out!
Not true, just be smart enough to fix it
