Line from tank with the filter on it is the supply line and goes to the carb inlet fitting. This is typically on the "bottom" of the carb (with the tank being up) and will usually have a fitting with barbs or a bulge on it to ensure a tight fit. The other fitting on the carb is the return line and is usually a straight tube fitting with no barbs. That line goes the suction side of the primer bulb. The third line goes from the outlet of the primer bulb to the return barb fitting in the bottom of the tank. Fittings have to be removed from tank to properly install the new hoses on them. Remove retainer ring on outside of tank and push fittings into tank, then shake out of the fill opening. More details on proper installation follows.

If yours is like all the Ryobi units that I have seen you just need a piece about 12" long of 1/8 ID fuel line. You can usually order that from parts suppliers or get it at some lawn and garden repairs shops. Hardware stores will not likely have it. There is a fitting with a hose barb on it that fits through the tank. On the outside of the tank on the bottom there will be a round plastic ring, assuming the fitting is still in place and just the hose split at the fitting. Use a knife or thin blade of some type to pry off ring. It is actually around the hose that is over the barb. Keep ring, you will need again. Now push fitting up into the tank. You may have to trim off the hose that is outside the tank on the barb to get it to go into the tank. Shake tank around and get fitting out of tank. You will see there is a piece of hose on it yet. Remove that piece of hose. Now take the new hose and slide it onto the barb. It must go all the way to the top of the barb fitting so that the hose actually goes into the tank through the hole drilled in the tank. The OD of the hose acts as the seal to keep gas from leaking out of the tank. You may need to put some oil of some type (vegetable oil works well) on the barb and inside of hose to help slip it on and use some pliers with smooth or rounded jaws ( no serrations, will damage hose) to get hose on. Thread other end of hose into the fill hole of the tank and out the hole in the bottom of the tank. Hint: Straighten out paper clip or use small wire inserted into the hole from the bottom of the tank up towards the fill opening. Slip tube over that and use the wire to guid the tube directly to the opening. Pull hose through the tank. When fitting with barb and hose over it reached the hole in the tank it will resist being pulled through. Carefully pull firmly on hose to stretch it so the hose/fitting "bulge" pulls into the hole in the tank. Look into tank and see when top flange of fitting is tight against the bottom inside of tank. You should see bottom of barb outside of the tank with the hose on it. Once in place put the plastic retainer ring back over hose and push up to bottom of tank. It should fit snuggly when you get to the "bulge" area. Cut hose length as needed to fit onto straight tube fitting on primer bulb. Should be good to go. You may find that the other hoses are getting bad also and may want to change them at the same time, as they will probably be ready to crack also. You can reuse filter from tank if it is not plugged, just add a new hose as described previously. Otherwise you can order a new filter with the line already on it. That line goes directly to the carb inlet barb. That barb is also hard to push hose on. Third line is from the return side of the carb to the suction side of the primer bulb. That is just a straight piece of 1/8" ID hose and pushes onto straight tube fittings, very easy to get hose on compared to barb fittings.

    Ooops...Correction to my original comments. I referred to the required line as 1/8" ID. That is wrong. The fittings are 1/8", the hose is 3/32" ID and 3/16" OD. The OD is important also as that is what provides the proper seal in the bottom of the tank.

I need a diagram for the fuel lines on 1997 kawasaki vulcan 750. i took the fuel lines loose and i don't know where they go

Hi.

There is no "diagram" showing the whole routing of fuel lines in the bike. You need to use different diagrams in Fuel System section of the service manual. Fuel system section starts at page 15 in service manual, but what you really need starts at page 40. I have posted fuel service manual at the end of comment.

There is one forum where users discussed the routing. One user has colored the diagram from service manual to indicate lines routing. Here the diagram:

ginko_149.jpg

Here the forum, I quote:

"The red and yellow are the fuel lines that go to the petcock. The green one you left unmarked also goes to the petcock. The line with a question mark is a vacuum line that connects to a part in front of the battery along with the larger lines to the cylinders."

Here the service manual in PDF format.

Regards.

Where can I get a diagram of a poulan 2350 16'' carb diagram ....I took it apart to replace internal hoses and they were dryrotted and broken and I do not know where to reconnect them

  • The hose in the tank with the filter on the free end connects directly to the carburetor input connection.
  • If the saw is equipped with a primer bulb, an output line from the carburetor connects to the suction side of the primer (once the bulb is collapsed it draws fuel from the tank through the carburetor to refill as it inflates).
  • The pressure side of the primer returns displaced fuel to the tank as it is depressed.
Take lots of notes and a few digital photographs to help with reassembly.

The IPL (exploded parts list) for your saw is the only detail for fuel line routing and it is sketchy at best. Fuel system components are shown but on multiple displays.

I have a 2002 dodge caravan and it suddenly shuts off. my mechanic cant find the problem. what could it be?

It sounds like the fuel filter may need replaced. If that doesn't take care of it you need to check the fuel jets. My van had a leak underneath from the fuel lines as they dryrotted so check them as well.

Looking for a place to hook my gauge!!!!!!

The fuel pressure gauge will need to tap into the fuel supply line going into your fuel rail. This is generally done by splicing the line, installing a T adapter that feeds the gauge. Several online performance parts dealers sell kits. For the oil pressure sensor you will need to tap into the oil filter flange, or sometimes on the side of the cylinder head. Typically there is a removable plug, allen key where you install the sensor. You will need to see which you have, and determine the thread size/pitch in order to determine what sensor you need. Air/Fuel is a little trickier, way more expensive and unneeded. To get a true air/fuel ratio you will need something like this http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/xcart/product.php?productid=16164&cat=262&page=1 which will require an additional bung to be installed on your exhaust manifold. Each of the gauges will need a fused power source, and a ground. Good luck...
