Chainsaw Repair

No problem, that is what this site is all about.

You will only need a few tools to do the job. If you have the SM it has a list of those that are needed. Most of the work can be completed using only a 4mm Allen key, a 'T' handle works best.

You do not need to remove the starter to do the job however you will need to remove the bar/chain and the top handle. The hardest part is getting the rear AV spring off the old tank. Husqvarna makes a tool for this but a small diameter drift and a small plastic mallet works fine.

It is much easier to replace the fuel line/filter and the tank vent when the tank is off the saw so do these two jobs on your new tank before trying to install it.
