This is a genuine Craftsman replacement part commonly used on chainsaws. The purpose of the filter is to keep dust and debris from contaminating the carburetor and engine. When replacing this filter you can place it in a plastic bag with a little oil and rub the oil into the filter. Then remove the filter and squeeze it in a paper towel to remove the excess oil. This will help to capture small particles. Includes one (1) foam filter per order. To complete this repair you would need a screwdriver. • Remove filter cover • Replace old filter element with a new one • Reassemble and test the equipment
I have 1996 poulan 2550 super clean 18\" chain saw , last used it in 2005,pulled out of storage to use and primer bulb was cracked, so I purchased new fuel lines,bulb,air and fuel filter. The repair went fairly easy, 3 screws to remove air filter top cover, 4 screws side cover with pull start, 2 nuts that retain air plenum,and carburetor,
... Read more disconect throttle linkage with needlenose pliers,move air plenum with throttle cable to left side, then able to slide carb and choke lever back to gain access to tank inlet(left side) and return(right side). Removed old line stuck in inlet and return with small diameter philips screw driver,they just tapped through, fished out old fuel filter and bits of old line with hemo stats, new fuel lines had diagonal cut at end which I put white lube on outside of hose at end and fed through holes, large dia is return,small dia is feed,enough to reach in with hemo stats and tug through( hardest part of repair).The next hardest part was figuring out lines, I found a youtube that ereplacementparts did in 2009 that helped me determine that starting from bulb center large dia to return in tank,small dia from bulb goes to top rh side of carb,bottom left side of carb to small dia inlet side of tank, pulled small line from tank and put fuel filter on, lays flat on bottom of tank.I slid the carb back down on studs making sure fuel lines are clear , move air plenum up to carb,then install throttle linkage with needle nose pliers,push air plenum on studs and thread nuts on and tighten evenly , put dab of 30w non detergent oil on foam air cleaner worked in, plulled spark plug , was clean and in good condition. replaced starter housing and top cover, repair time was approximately 1 hour, including coffee break, everything worked fine.

Unit started extremely hard and would not run full-throttle.
Remove the carburetor and replaced all gaskets, fuel pump diaphragm and regulator diaphragm. Reseated bulb and replaced the gaskets which mate the carburetor to the engine\'s intake manifold. Once completed, I tightened all the bolts on the crankcase and engine head, replaced and gapped the spark plug. The unit started on the second

A quick note about the Walbro rebuild kit and the original parts in the carburetor. The fuel pump, for these carbs, in the original was a piece of blue plastic/mylar(?) that was solid. The replacement fuel pump looked like a mesh screen. That had me confused, for a bit. I did not realize that the replacement parts would look so different from the originals. That said, I should laugh at myself because this unit was made in 1996 and this is the first time it\'s been rebuilt. Things have changed, a bit, since them, obviously. LOL.
This was a quick, and easy job. If you can use a screwdriver you can do this work.
Replaced fuel line and other items on chain saws and the parts cost less from here then buying then local. Also looked at youtube. But I will get all my parts from this web site because I like their prices and delivery time.
Removed plug; removed chain and bar; removed clutch; took off the housing with the clutch housing; removed two screw holding the pump; removed the old pump; installed the new items; and it worked.
1. Remove any fuel from the fuel tank
2. Remove upper and side covers
3. Remove 2 air filter hold down nuts which also holds carburetor to engine
4. Remove plastic choke lever from carburetor by pinching tabs and pushing through hole for access in order to run the new fuel lines
5. Remove old fuel line remnants fro

6. Replace fuel lines through tank penetration holes by splitting new hose about 1/2\' and cutting off one side, then insert into tank hole and pulling through with long nose pliers. Note that there are 2 sizes of tubing used, one for the fuel pickup and the other for priming bulb return to tank. Recommend using at least E10 (10% alcohol fuel) tubing (yellow). E 80 tubing is also available, but very expensive.
7. With the pickup filter attached to the tubing, leave enough tubing length inside the fuel tank so that the pickup can flop around and reach all parts of the tank at any angle.
8. Complete remaining tubing runs. Since the original tubing on my saw had fallen apart, it was necessary for me to go to the internet to find a diagram on where to hook up the tubing to priming bulb and carburetor. This info was not in the owners manual, and not as obvious as you might think.
9. Added some fuel, primed the carburetor, and the saw ran perfectly! Good luck on your project!
