Stihl 020Av Fuel Line Replacement: A Step-By-Step Guide

If you're looking to replace the fuel line on your Stihl 020AV chainsaw, you're in luck! This process can be done at home with relative ease. You'll need to purchase a replacement fuel line, which can be found online or at a hardware store. Once you have the new fuel line, the process is fairly straightforward. You'll need to remove the gas tank cap, take off the fuel line and fuel filter, and cut off the piece of the fuel line that seals the gas tank. Then, put an ordinary fuel line of about the same diameter through that piece, and put everything back together. Be sure to refer to a trusted source for detailed instructions, and always exercise caution when working with power tools and combustible materials.

Removing the fuel line from the gas tank

To remove the fuel line from the gas tank of your Stihl 020AV chainsaw, you'll need to perform the following steps:

Begin by removing the gas tank cap. Next, take off the fuel line and remove the fuel filter. You may need a pair of needle-nose pliers for this step. Now, cut off the piece of the fuel line that is larger and seals the gas tank. Take that piece of fuel line and put an ordinary fuel line of about the same diameter through it. Finally, put everything back in place.

It is important to note that this is a general guide and your specific Stihl 020AV model may have unique requirements. Always refer to the official Stihl manual or seek advice from a certified technician if you are unsure about any steps or procedures.

Replacing the fuel line

To replace the fuel line on a Stihl 020AV chainsaw, follow these steps:

First, remove the gas tank cap, take off the fuel line, and remove the fuel filter. Cut off the piece of the fuel line that is larger and seals the gas tank. Put an ordinary fuel line of about the same diameter through that piece.

Alternatively, you can buy a replacement fuel line and filter. To do this, first, make sure that the replacement part matches your Stihl 020AV. The correct replacement fuel line for this model is Stihl OEM # 1114 358 7700, or 11143587700. Once you have the correct part, remove the air filter housing, as the fuel line runs from the left of the carburetor to under the carburetor. Then, simply remove the old fuel line and install the new one.

Note that this is a very tight fit and can be time-consuming, so take care when removing and installing the fuel line.

Reattaching the fuel line to the carburettor

To reattach the fuel line to the carburettor of your Stihl 020AV chainsaw, you will need to perform the following steps:

First, remove the gas tank cap, then take off the fuel line and remove the fuel filter. Next, take off the fuel line from the gas tank. Cut off the piece of the fuel line that is larger and seals the gas tank. Now, put an ordinary fuel line through that piece, ensuring it is about the same diameter. Finally, put everything back together, and you should be good to go.

If you need to replace the fuel line, you can follow the steps outlined above and then install a new fuel line before reassembling. It is recommended that you take pictures of all phases of disassembly to ensure proper reassembly.

Additionally, you may need to remove the air filter, the carburettor, and most of the covers to access the fuel tank and line. This process can be time-consuming and requires some disassembly, but it is not difficult.

Replacing the fuel filter

To replace the fuel filter on a Stihl 020AV chainsaw, follow these steps:

First, remove the gas tank cap and take off the fuel line. Then, remove the fuel filter from the end of the fuel line inside the gas tank. Cut off the piece of the fuel line that is larger and seals the gas tank. Now, put an ordinary fuel line through that piece of fuel line, ensuring it is about the same diameter. Put everything back together, and you're done!

If you need a new fuel filter, you can purchase one online or from a Stihl dealer. Make sure to get the correct part for your model of chainsaw. The fuel filter for the Stihl 020AV has the part number #1114 358 7700.

It is recommended to replace the fuel filter regularly to ensure the chainsaw runs efficiently and to prevent fuel line clogs.

Some people choose to replace the entire fuel line and filter assembly when performing this maintenance task. This can be purchased with the part number #0000 350 3504.

Always take appropriate safety precautions when working with fuel and power tools.

Testing for a spark

To test for a spark on your Stihl 020AV chainsaw, you will need to check the ignition coil. You can do this without removing it from the chainsaw.

First, remove the spark plug and reattach the spark plug boot, grabbing only the boot and being careful not to touch the spark plug itself. The exposed tip of the spark plug contains electrodes that generate electricity. Find a metal surface on the chainsaw, such as the cylinder, and press the electrode tip of the spark plug firmly against the metal surface.

Turn the chainsaw's ignition switch to the "On" position and pull the starter cord with quick, hard pulls. If there is a spark, you should see it form at the location where the spark plug presses against the metal surface. If there is no spark, then the ignition coil is defective and needs to be replaced.

If you want to test the ignition module, you will need to remove it from the machine. There is no other way to test it. You can then use a multimeter to test for power coming out of the ignition module. Set your multimeter to the correct settings and place the probes on the relevant terminals.

If you are still struggling to identify the issue, it may be helpful to take photos of your work and ask an expert to review them and provide advice.
