Hasqvarna Chainsaw 455 Carburetor Fuel Flow
My Hasqvarna 455 Chainsaw was running rough, then stopped running all althogether. I decided to replace the Walbro 6874 carburetor and fuel lines. After removing the carburetor I realized the problem was disintegrated fuel lines. I replaced the carburetor anyway, as well as, the fuel line. Yet, the chainsaw wouldn't start at all.
I wrote down the fuel line flow, but figured it may be wrong. A video online showed how to test the flow with the carburetor out. It said the primer sucks fuel out of tank through the carb, rather than pushing it in. I connected fuel line to intake, then outtake to primer and tested. I can't get the fuel to flow with the carburetor out. It is also a new primer and I test the pumping direction as well.
Is the video correct, should the fuel be able to flow through carburetor when out and attached to lines. I tried sucking on each fuel line connector, but can't even get air to flow. Any thoughts?
I can attach photos if the need be.
Thanks,
Don
