You need the correct size line, it comes new yellow colored now , claimed to be more impervious to gasahol -with a razor blade , cut the end of the new hose on a long enough angle to feed it thru the tank grommet, then you can grab it thru the tank grommet with medical locking forceps - its a snug pull thru the grommet but easy - hope this helps

Some fuel types are very aggresive and will attack the material the hose is made of, the only answer is to replace the hose, and if required use a small clip or tie strap around the hose connection to ensure it does not come off.
Start by removing the hose from the tank and replace the filter on the end, check the fuel hose up to the carb for signs of cracking, or fuel escape, if so replace the hose, if no better, try slackening the fuel filer cap when the saw sarts to die, if it picks up again you need to replace the fuel tank breather.
Remove the clutch cover, bar, and chain, clean the bar groove, any holes and passages on the rear of the bar (both sides, consider rotating the bar) Clean the saw oiler hole and channel. Insert a blunted, hooked piece of wire through the oil filler hole and pull the hose in the oil tank out. Pay attention to the screen or filter on the free end (clean or replace, difficult to determine serviceability). Start the saw and see if it oils when revved up.
PUT ON GLOVES; completely remove the chain from the bar. Hold the bar horizontal and install the chain in the upper bar groove, (mark one of links) rotate the chain one complete revolution. If it rotates freely without catching or riding up in the groove you can reassemble your saw try it.
If my saw I would seriously consider replacing the bar and chain but I cannot see what damage has been done. HTH Lou
use a pair of long needle nose pliers to get the filter out then fish the new line threw the hole and put filter on the end o of the hose and pull it into the tank with it laying in the bottom, then cut the hose and slide over carburetor.
Oil System Plugged. Remove the clutch cover, bar and chain. Clean the oiler hole and channel. Start the saw and see if it oils when revved up. If yes reassemble your saw. If no a blunted, hooked piece of wire can be used to pull the hose in the oil tank out. I recommend the filter be replaced. Work your way through the linkage cleaning and replacing any defective parts as you go. Carefully check the hoses for cracks especially at bends and connections. If equipped with an oil pump it is usually behind the clutch (clutch is probably left handed thread). Please make extensive notes & some digital pictures will help during reassembly. GL Lou
