SOURCE: Replacing a fuel line for a Poulan 2175 type 2 chainsaw
the fuel line from the tank filter goes to the carby and the other tank one goes to the "out" on the primer bulb. the other one on the bulb goes to the carby.
Now If the primer isnt marked there is a long and short nipple, and I cant rememer which is which...If you press the the prime rwith the hoses off you can find which one is sucking(in) and the one that blows (out).
The "in" on the caby (tank filter hose) is usualy the pipe that is in the aprox middle position, out (return, primer) is usualy ont outer position.....
the primer basicaly pulls air and fuel out of the carby and back in to the tank, not pushing it into the carby like most ppl think.
if it wont prime swap the hoses around on the carby and try....if that still dont work the caby diaphram might be US.

Your saw is a Poulan. Try converting the cc to a model number. A 2.2cc Craftsman is often a Poulan model 2200. go to this link and find something that appears the same under (POULAN-WEED-EATER).

The IPL will help. Pay attention to the year there is a different area for older saws.
For a current saw Craftsman should have something available.

If you did nothing to the carburetor adjustments, are using a fresh (1.5 months or less) fuel mix with the same oil/fuel ratio, are operating at the same elevation, and the air filter is clean, there is a reason your saw is acting up.
The idle sdrew is usually separated fron the other 2 and probaly not fitted with an EPA limiter. HTH

The second carburetor port feeds the primer (bleeder), returns excess fuel to tank.
Filtered line to carb, carb to bleeder, bleeder to tank (probably not visible and no hose in tank).

The print is deceptive, it appears the filtered line feed the bleeder it does not!
