I have a Stihl chainsaw and it bogs down and dies when I squeeze the trigger. On inspecting it, there"s cracks in the fuel line. How the heck do I replace it? It looks like the best way to remove it is from the tank side because of the rubber flange, but I can"t figure out how to put the new one in from inside the tank. Please help.

How long does this fix last? I have to replace fuel line on my Stihl every 12-18 months..this seems like a good fix Thanks for tip.

Most saw tanks have a weighted filter on the inside so it stays in the fuel no matter what position the saw takes. Cut the fuel line near the seal and push the rest inside the tank. Fish the filter out thru the fill opening. Use long nose pliers, wire hook, etc. From the outside, run a long piece of fuel line thru the seal (spit works good) and out the fill hole. Clean the filter and attach the new line to it, working outside the fill hole. Slowly pull the excess line and filter back thru the rubber seal until the filter is hanging in the lowest part of the tank and can move around easily. Cut the line to reach the carb. I don't know what saw shop cost is or if line comes precut. I use model airplane fuel line since it's more resistant to chemicals and about 75� a foot. Take the filter to check size. Buy a couple of feet so you have plenty to work with.
