The trick is to cut the new fuel line ends at an angle so you can insert into the fuel tank and catch the end inside the tank with needle nose pliars and pull into the tank , then cut straight before attaching the fuel filter

The fuel line on the 141 is very small and wasn't really meant to be replaced for some reason, as it is a pinch fit. Buy the smallest fuel line you can, usually 1/8th OD inch fuel line. Remove the air-filter and the carburetor. You will need to drill out the
current hole a little bit, so go slowly. As soon as the new fuel line will fit _tightly_ insert the line. You will have to remove the hand-bar and the
anti-vibration bolts to separate the motor mount portion from the gas tank which is part of the hand grip.

Apply some gasoline proof gasket sealant to the space between the gap, else you will have a gas leak from the tank sooner or later.

Reassemble the grip and motor sections back together and let the sealant dry for a day or so. Put the carb and air filter back on and attach the fuel line to the carb and the other end to the fuel filter in the gas tank.

    Hobby shops that sell nitro cars have this really small fuel line too.

    You do not have to drill the opening ing what so ever or take the tank off.I know because I've done it.just cut the end of the fuel tube leaving a slither small and long enough to go in the small opening grab it with needle nose inside the tank and pull and work it through.it is very simple

  1. Remove the top cover from the saw (4 screws)
  2. Remove the air cleaner (2 screws).
  3. Remove the air cleaner holder/spacer (2 nuts).
  4. Disconnect throttle arm from carburetor by lifting handle-end of arm assembly out of the handle and rotating up-right-out of handle until plastic piece is out of handle - continue to rotate/manipulate until arm disconnects from throttle arm on carburetor.
  5. Lift the choke lever assembly out of the saw case. Do not disconnect from the carburetor.
  6. Remove carburetor/air cleaner metal spacer (2 screws at bottom of spacer).
  7. After taking note of where the gas line is/was connected to the carburetor, remove carburetor (2 long bolts upon which the air cleaner holder was mounted).
  8. Remove/clean off/clean out all traces of the old hose from the gas tank and the carburetor. This may require using a drill bit to clean old hose out of the opening to the gas tank (the hole visible in the opening in the carburetor body directly under where the carburetor was mounted).
  9. Using a 1/16" ID x 1/8" OD x 1' long gas line (smaller of the two hoses in a Power Care brand "Fuel Lines Variety Pack" #323-460, available in the Lawn and Garden section of Home Depot), cut one end at a 45 deg angle.
  10. Using a piece of baling wire or something similar, gently push/"finesse" the line down into the gas tank, leaving enough line outside the tank to reach the pointed noted in step #7. You may need to drill the existing hole in the gas tank to a very slightly larger size in order to feed the line into the tank and still maintain a leak-free install. If you make the hole too large and have a slight leak, you can use RTV sealant available at any auto parts store to seal around the hole where the line enters the tank.
  11. Feed all the line into the tank, leaving enough line to reach from the gas tank up and around the left side (with the bar facing away from you) of the carburetor, up and over the top of the carb, to the fuel inlet line on the right side.
  12. Attach the exposed end of the new line to the fuel inlet line on the carburetor, sliding the hose over the fuel inlet tube approx. 3/16". If the tube is "too" stubborn going on, dip the end in a cup of boiling-hot water to make the hose more pliable.
  13. Reassemble the saw (steps 7...3).
  14. Pull the starter cord 1-2 times, and you should see the gas line fill completely. If the line doesn't fill, make sure that the carburetor bolts are tight and the hose is still securely attached to the carburetor, etc.
  15. Reinstall the saw cover (steps 2, 1).

    Correction - Removing the top cover on the saw (#1, above) involves 3 screws, not four :-(

SOURCE: chain saw no start

It needs spark, fuel and compression to run, which is missing?
Lets start with spark. Replace the plug (very inexpensive and great insurance), then do this:
Ignition Coil Test by SmallEng.com
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7WNBDRG4C4
You may need to use a jumper wire between the threaded part of the plug and the cooling fins. You do not have to bend up the electrode.

Before we get to fuel please download and follow the start procedure in your Operator's Manual here:
HusqvarnaUSA.com
http://www.husqvarna.com/us/homeowner/support/download-manuals/
Enter the 3 digit model number (no XPs, Es, just the numbers)
Serial number decode – useful when downloading IPLs and Manuals
06 1500198
06 = year produced – 2006 (single digit before 2000)
15 = week produced - March
00198 = 198th unit Husky produced that week
I own a Husky 359 that 1 time I forgot to set the fast idle (close then open choke). It was near impossible to start. I have missed the initial attempt to fire and flooded it too, again almost impossible to start.

If it has spark and the start procedure fails, put a teaspoon of fuel mix in the carburetor throat, open the choke, and pull. Does it fire and attempt to start? Yes it probably has a fuel delivery problem. Please repost with what you did and we will continue. HTH

IMO regardless of what your manual says ( yours probably 50:1) all 2-cycle engines should be operated on 50:1 (1 gallon of premium fuel to 2.6 ounces of quality 2-cycle engine oil). Once adjusted for this mix they start easier, pollute a bunch less, and do not foul out plugs, cylinders, or mufflers. Run lean conditions are most often caused by dirty air filters, air leaks not detected by the operator, or failing to add any oil to the fuel in the tank. Using a 32:1 mix prevents none of these occurring! I use a Pioneer chainsaw I purchased new early 1980 with a 50:1 mix.

How do i adjust the metering arm in the carb of a model 141 husqvarna chain saw

All adjustments made to the fuel are screw adjusted, three screws are low ideal, high ideal, throttle stop. A flat he'd screw driver should do.

Changing my fuel line on my husqvarna141 chain saw and after pulling line out cant figure out where it threads back in to tank

The 141 uses a a very small bore fuel hose, it feeds through the top of the crankcase under the carb, and into the top of the fuel tank, it is not easy to do without removing the fuel tank from the crankcase. To remove the tank, start by removing the air filter held with two screws, remove the two 8mm nuts securing the filter back plate and remove, remove the two 7mm studs securing the carb, and the two cross head screws securing the carb support plate, remove the carb and throttle wire, now remove the four screws securing the starter cover ( these screw into two of the anti vib mounts ) turn the saw over and remove the 4mm allen screw securing the chain catcher at the front corner of the saw, remove the single cross head screw at the rear top corner of the saw and remove the plastic orange cap, the tank will now come away with the top handle as a unit, you can now see and fit the fuel hose.

I have a husqvarna 257 with a 20inch bar and having oiling problems, is getting hardly any to no oil and have the oil adjuster screw the whole ways out, is the oil plunger bad?

If you take the bar off, and then run the saw, does oil come out of the saw? If it does, then the oil pump is likely working O.K.

If the oil comes out of the saw and does not make it onto the chain, it is possible that the oil exit slot on the saw, and the hole on the bar are not lining up properly. This happened on my Husqvarna 141 saw. The oil was coming out of the saw fine, but it never made it to the bar and chain. As a consequence the chain was always dry and very, very hot.

The other saws we use, always have plenty of oil on the chain. I think Husqvarna may have made a design flaw on some of their saws, and the exit point of the saw and the entry to the bar are not properly aligned. I wonder how many saws this affects.

Husqvarna chain saw Model 141 running at high rpm's

You may wnat to inspect the intake manifold/boot that mounts inbetween the cylinder and the carb. Also, the impulse tube that comes from the bottom of the cylinder to the carb manifold or carb itself. Sounds like you are running a lean condition. You need to locate the source very quickly, or continued operation will permantly damage the saw. I have listed a few other things to check.
Please let me know what you find. rwvanlue

Basics to check:
1) Spark plug - brown or dark brown - OK
a) is it carbon or fuel fouled (black and carbon deposits)
b) is there spark

2) Muffler remove for inspection
a) exhaust screen clean or plugged
b) inspect cylinder wall/piston as the flywheel is slowly rotated
3) Check cylinder compression

Fuel starvation - 'lean fuel' condition
Basic things to check:
1) spark plug
2) spark arrestor in muffler
3) fuel lines and tank filter
4) turn adjustment needles out (counterclockwise) 1/4 to 1/2 turn
Chain Saws:
5) check impulse tube and intake boot for cracks or leaks
*if all of the above are OK and/or do not improve performance then:
Remove Carburetor
6) replace gaskets/diaphragms
a) use a spray carb cleaner to clean jets, holes, and body of carb
b) fuel pump diaphragm goes against the carb body,
then the gasket towards the outside
c) metering gasket goes against the carb body,
and the diaphragm goes towards the outside
