10-series McCullochs have had a long, thin spring inside their fuel lines since they were released in 1965.  The AV models have the same spring in the impulse hose as well.

Lol!, I f××ked up the oem replacement and ended up using Tygon.  Heat gun would have saved a lot of trouble.  I'll remember that

Anti crush springs?

Yep.  Both the fuel lines and impulse lines make a sharp bend, and could collapse without the springs.

China is making alot of the stihl smaller saws now which are poor quality saws, however they are also making lots of after market parts that seem to work well for other stihls. On the fuel lines i put elbows in them if they kink too much. A spring does work however if it is made from anything that will rust it won't be long before its a problem.
