Running into something. The small line on the poulan fuel line like on the PP 260. What is the size? :-\
I measured the one that came out of it at 1/8 outer and 3/32 inner.
I have line that is to small outer and inner and line that is right inner but way to big for outer to work through the tiny hole for the small line. :-X
Looking to order I cant find such outer inner. Could it be 1/16" inner diameter X 1/8" outer diameter http://www.hlsproparts.com/Tygon-fuel-line-clear-yellow-1-16-ID-X-1-8-OD-p/t115315.htm

I think that's it. I have a buddy that has done lines on a ton of those saws. He has a roll of line that he uses for them. I'll have to ask him the size...
Edit:
I think I remember him saying he drills out the hole for the small line so he can use 3/32x3/16" line.
-
Thats what I would do too.
Here is what is going on. I wonder now if they drilled the smaller hole on his and then used wrong size fuel lines.

I think you're right. My Poulan 4000 came to me with the fuel line hole drilled for larger line. Discovered that when trying to use the usual 3/32"x3/16" line on it. I have a spare tank that I'm going to replace it with.
I think they farked up on the drilling, as it takes 1/8x1/4" line to seal the hole.............and that line has an ID that is too big for a good fit on the carb barb. Right now I have a piece of line on there with a clamp (made from a 'donut' cut from a piece of 1/8x1/4 line) on the barb end.

I use .080" x. 140" for the feed line on poulans of this type. I don't know if this is an odd ball size but it always works with no leaks. It fits the feed lines on a lot of cheaper weed eaters as well.
-
Kevin I have done a few of these and I always use Tygon 4040-A. It is little bit of a tight fit thru the hole but if you cut a long taper on the end and get it fished thru then it will pull thru easily.
This is what I use on my 265 and wild things. On the other end where the fuel filter is attached I spread it with a small pair of needle nose pliers to get the fuel filter on.

That is what I use Tygon and how I feed through too.
My small line must be smaller then .080 x .140 if there is one smaller because it isnt going to fit a filter and not tight in hole IMO.
What size you using for the small line Roger?
I am guessing I have just run out of what I used in past because I have done many saws with the small line. Just got caught in between lines at the moment and cant figure out what I was using.
Think I will order some of the .080 .140 and the 1/16 1/8 to check out to see what I was using before.

We have a winner. I thought self why not go to the blasted IPL and look up the small fuel line. Then search the part number to see the correct OEM size.
530069247 = .140" (3.56mm) OD X .080" (2.03mm) POULAN OEM 530069247 FUEL LINE
I must be out of that one because I know I used it in the past.

Just placed a order with Northwood Saw and went ahead and got some of that 1/8 1/16 size to check out too.

I looked for a size on that tubing and did not see one. I am going to have to get that from where I work next time I am in there.
-
Even though I know what size I use in these other poulans. I thought I would post what OEM says so it might help some others out if needed.
poulan 2700, 2800, 3000, 3100, 3300, etc, fuel line.

Cut4fun and I are lucky. We go to the local junk store (we call it the Mall) and there are rolls of Tygon F-4040A and we buy a few feet of the size that looks about right. This happens to be the 3/16 X 3/32. We buy a little of the other sizes too just in case? We keep Tygon on hand for when ever the need occurs.
A friend called this morning telling me that he just bought a bar and chain for his chainsaw at the mall.
-
The chain I sharpened for a guy that was bought at the Shelby Mall Jim was forester 3/8. Maybe all the chain they sale is this brand?
-
It think most of what they have comes from Stens?
The guy that I talked to on the phone today said the bar was a GB .058. He didn't mention what the chain was. I know they have rolls of chain but I never bought any bars or chains there. Our friend has bought several at the mall.
I know the carb kits are Stens and I think the bars from Stens are Foresters? Silver Steak chain?
You never know about that place as he buys out surplus inventory at times.

McMaster Carr carries tygon 4040a fuel line
I have most of the sizes up to 3/8...for lawn mowers and my British bikes.
These 2 are for my saws. I get 25' at a time.
5/64" 9/64" 1/32" 5552K43 $0.82/ft
3/32" 3/16" 3/64" 5552K22 $0.75/ft
If the tank hole is a bit big the you can use a barbed union to swell the line. I think this was SOP on poulan micro XXV/1800/2000/2300 etc.
union pn 530023877 or rotary 13448 less than a buck.

The double barb fitting on the Micros lived above the tank (just outside of it). There's a little recess to hold it in place. The fitting is there to allow you to take the tank and left side cover off to service the starter and such.
The fitting does also do quite well in the manner that you describe (passing partially through the tank hole to swell the line and lock it in place). I used one when I put an earlier style vent setup on my PP330.
