Any good chainsaw/stringtrimmer shop will have various sizes of the
plastic hose. The trick is to get the new hose in place. I can
recommend a good shop but it is about 1000 miles from you.
My favorite is still a SuperEZ Homely. I think it is similar to the
XL12 I cut huge logs with the old EZ, more than twice as big as its
16" bar.
I have my dad's old Homelite XL12 which I remember him getting about
40-45 yr ago or so. I was using it last year and it quit running
for more than a coupla minutes. I determined that the plastic fuel
pickup line in the tank must have finally gotten too soft to pick up
once it starts sucking fuel, and it collapses thereby starving the
thing of fuel. Apparently parts are NLA, I got another saw and have
been using that but I would like to get the XL12 going again as it
is light and cuts well. I guess I should take it somewhere to see
if they might be able to figure it out, probably should find some
old guy somewhere who knows his stuff.

I got that saw out of a friend's shed when they moved into a new
place and found it. I think the PO had run it without bar oil and
the chain cut a deep groove in the gear.
Its a MacCulloch but a recent one made by who knows. I can't
remember the model offhand, its at my folks house. The gear is part
of the clutch and I got a replacement but it doesn't fit properly
on the bearing so it was loose and rattled horribly. We shimmed it
but then it was too tight so it wouldn't disengage. I gave up at
that point, it was a cheap free saw after all.
Ran great though, I put the compression tester on it and had 170#...
