wood cutting gone bad

Tried cutting wood today but my damn chainsaw wouldn't stay running.

I cut 3 trees down and it ran a little funny.I cut up 2 trees and started the third when i seen Daena show up to help.With me being by myself i was glad to see someone stop by to help.As soon as he got out of his truck i pinched my saw and had to get my ax to cut the limb to get it out.With a few whacks with the ax i got it loose and tried to cut up the last tree but my saw wouldn't stay running. After a little investigation we come to conclude that the gas line from the tank has a hole in it and is sucking air.

Daena and I hopped into my truck and went to Russell's place and borrowed his saw to finish up .He didn't know,he was still in be.He He I even had problems the the saw.Knocked the chain off with the second piece of wood i cut.Go figure right?

Stopped at Ace on my way home to see if they had one.No such luck,they had to order it.It will cost me around 7 dollars.Kinda alot cause it's only 3 inches long but what else can I do?No use Jerry rigging it.Now i gotta figure out how i will get the new one in.

Once you get the new hose assembly, you should be able to tell how it goes in. I don't think it will be too hard.

7 bucks is a lot for a fuel line, but it's either that or go back to burning LP! You made the right choice by fixing your saw.
