The gas filter is going to be dangling inside the fuel tank on the end of the fuel pick-up line. Hook it with a short piece of wire and slip it to the edge of the fuel opening. Be careful as you can easily destroy the actual fuel line in the process. It will NOT stretch as far as you would like for access to the filter. The filter is connected to the fuel line with a plastic barb fitting that inserts inside the line. Remove and reinstall the new replacement.
The chain and bar are removed by first loosening the nuts on the side of the case. Next, look between the two nuts for a screwdriver adjustment....if not there, look from the front of the saw down alongside the inside of the guide bar and up against the case should be a screwdriver slot. Turn it COUNTER clockwise to loosen the chain to a drooping loop. Remove the two bar nuts and side case and the bar and chain will easily slip off.
It's not getting fuel, either the fuel lines are plugged or they may be broken. Take off the air filter cover and the air filter. Check the fuel lines going into the carburator. Wiggle them a little, they may be broken and need to be replaced. Also check the fuel filter, use a 6-8", bend a hook on one end and fish out the filter from the fuel tank. It might be best to take the saw into a repair dealer if you can't figure how to get to the various parts on the saw.
Sorry to hear of your predicament. It's upsetting but not that hard to fix.
You'll have to drain the gas out of the tank first and toss it if it isn't fresh. Remove the filler cap. Take the cover off the saw and possibly the air filter if it's in the way. Turn the saw upside down and shake the fuel filter to the opening of the gas tank (it's inside the tank) and grab it with a needle nose pliers and pull it out. If the line was that bad, you'll want to replace the fuel filter also. You'll need to get new fuel line, which is clear tubing. You'll need about 6-8 inches of tubing. Attach the new line to the fuel filter and feed the line into the gas tank and through the hole in the bottom. Pull it all the through to the interior of the saw. Feed the line around to the small metal tube on the carburetor. Before you connect to the carb, cut the excess line off. If your saw has a priming bulb, connect the line to the fuel entrance on the bulb.
I hope this helps. If it does, I'd appreciate a 4 thumbs up vote. Thanks,
primers pull fuel from the carb and dumps it back into the tank, so if the bulb will not prime the chances are the fuel filter in the tank is blocked, pull the fuel hose through the filer hole and replace the filter on the end.
Empty the fuel tank on the chainsaw of any remaining fuel.
Pull the cap from the tank and turn the unit upside down. Drain the fuel
into an approved fuel container. If the fuel is old (more than about a
year) dispose of it according to local regulations for hazardous
materials. (It can be kept longer by adding a fuel stabilizer.)
Pull the fuel line where it attaches to the carburetor using
the end of the needle-nose pliers. The old fuel line may take some force
to pull free from the metal tube.
Push on the fuel line to feed it into the fuel tank. Hold the
chain saw upside down. Shake the unit to get the fuel filter into the
opening of the tank. Pull the filter free of the tank. Feed the
remaining fuel line through the access hole at the bottom of the tank.
Dispose of the filter and old fuel line in accordance with disposal
regulations.
Feed one end of the new fuel line into and through the bottom
access hole of the fuel tank. Push approximately 6 to 8 inches into the
tank. You can pull back any excess line later. Grab the end of the
plastic line with the needle-nose pliers. Bring the line through the gas
tank fill opening.
Attach the new filter to the end of the new fuel line. Feed
the filter back into the fuel tank. Pull any excess line from the tank.
You will want approximately 3 to 4 inches of fuel line inside the tank.
Route the new fuel line to the carburetor. Cut the line to
length with the cutters on the needle-nose pliers. Attach the line to
the metal tube.
Fill the fuel tank with fresh gas-oil fuel for 2-stroke
engines and start the chainsaw. It may take a few pulls to prime the new
line with fuel.
Some models come with a priming bulb. Make sure you press the priming bulb three to four times before trying to start. This will prime the gas lines and remove any excess air trapped in the lines.
on weedeaters,chain saws. most are the same. line with little filter in gas tank goes to carb. line out of carb to primer bulb line from primer bulb to gas tank
Fuel lines: one comes from the tank...has a filter in side the tank...runs up to the intake of the carb... you can tell by hooking up the lines to the carb, and put one into a gas supply... press the prime bulb... if it pulls gas, thats the one to hook into the tank...if not it 's the other... there should only be two lines a fuel supply and a return pressure line. Clean the air filter while you've got it apart.... k
HOW TO CHANGE FUEL LINE ON McCULL0UGH 2014 CHAIN SAWS.
I have successfully changed the input fuel line by purchasing Tygon
tubing from a local lawn equipment dealer. I did not see the box he cut
this from, but the tubing I bought measures 0.190" outside diameter. I
gave him a piece of the old tubing and he matched it up. A 18 inch
piece cost me $1.19.
The routing of the fuel line involves three pieces, one piece from the
fuel priming bulb to the carburator is 3 inches long, a piece from the
fuel priming bulb to the gas tank is about 4 inches long and the piece
from the fuel tank is about 7 inches long. The priming bulb sucks air
and fuel from the carburator and dumps it back into the gas tank.
Therefore, when you press this repeatedly, gasoline will eventually
appear in the bulb when the gas line to the carburator is full of fuel.
The bulb may not completely fill, there will always be a little air in
the bulb.
The fuel line in has a filter on the end within the fuel tank. If you
find this has broken off, as I did, you have to turn the tank upside
down and shake the filter and any pieces of broken fuel line out of the
tank.
Replacing the fuel lines within the carburator compartment is easy if
you remove the carburator first. To work on this you must remove the
two screws holding the carburator to the engine. You may need to use a
small screw Torx driver, although on my chainsaw, there was also a long
straight slot on the head. The line from the priming pump to the
carburator goes to the left hand line on the carburetor (as viewing
from the top with the blade extending away from you. The input line
will go onto the right line on the carburator.
The two lines into the fuel tank are located in the middle of the tank
left to right and one about 1/2" above the other. The upper hole is for
the fuel intake line. The fuel line passes through this hole and a
second hole visible within the tank fill hole.
This was the trickiest hose to replace. How I did it was to use a piece
of #12 copper electrical wire stripped out of its insulation. This was
fed through the 7-inch Tygon tubing piece until it emerged from the far
end. I also found it necessary to put a bull nose end on the Tygon
tubing in order to get it to feed into the tank hole visible from the
tank fill hole. Why? I don't know, but after 20 minutes of trying to
feed the hose (both naked and with the electrical wire inside) into
that second hole, I gave it a bull nose on the tubing by careful
cutting with sharp scissors and using a sanding block. Perhaps
McCullough has a special tool to do this, but a call to their 800
number could not get a knowlegible answer from the parts person.
After the Tygon tubing shows up in the tank fill hole, I pulled it
further with needle nose pliers and was able to pull the copper wire
back out of the tubing. I then cut the bull nose lead I put on the
Tygon tube and installed the filter onto it. I found that a little oil
on the nozzle and the carburator lines makes the tubing easier to slip
on. The stuff the filter and Tygon tubing back into the tank fill hole
and towards the front end of the tank so that it drops into the bottom
portion of the tank. After attaching the intake line to the carburator,
use the needle nose pliers to pull excess line into the tank.
Reassemble the carburator to the engine and you'll be good for another 10 years of happy chainsawing!
First remove the cover,air filter and the carburator.Then remove the gas tank cap and the fuel filter from inside of gas tank,at the end of fuel line.Take off the fuel line from the hole of the gas tank(at the top),replace the fuel line,put all back together and start the engine.
