If you need to replace the fuel filter on your Poulan 1950, you'll be pleased to know that it's a relatively straightforward process. You'll need to remove the fuel cap and then use a sturdy length of wire with a hook on the end to retrieve the fuel line containing the fuel filter. Once you've got the fuel filter out, you can install a new one onto the fuel line and then tuck the line back into the fuel tank. You'll then need to cut the fuel line to fit onto the carb and reinstall the tank and carb.

How to get the line for the filter through the fuel tank
To get the line for the filter through the fuel tank, cut the end of the line at a 30-degree angle so that you have a sharp point. Use a piece of trimmer line to thread the line through the hole in the bottom of the tank and fish the end out through the neck. Put the fuel line over the trimmer line and guide it to the hole. Use a pair of needle-nose pliers to bring it through.
Some technicians will also get about 2-3 times as much line as they need, then split the line lengthwise about 6-8 inches to make it small enough to pull through the hole.
