Fuel Line Configuration: Homelite 4620 Chainsaw Guide

what is fuel line configuration on a homelite 4620 chainsaw

The Homelite 4620 chainsaw has two sizes of fuel line. The large line goes from the large port on the primer button to the fuel tank, and the small line goes from the primer button to the carb. There are two hose connections on the carb, one of which is a vent. The hose can be run from the tank fitting to the Carb fitting, or from the tank to the shut-off valve to the Carb, or from the tank to the shut-off to prime to the Carb, or from the tank to the shut-off to prime to the filter to the Carb. John HOMELITE used the formed fuel line on many models until someone had the idea that it was cheaper and easier to use a straight line and a grommet.
