McCulloch Timberbeat 498 fuel line

Might be something lost in translation here- but are we taking about one of the Euromac Timberbears?
In America (where most readers are from) the Timberbear was a model based on the metal cased 600 series saws.
I believe the Euromac Timberbear was an 849? Plastic cased clamshell design of 49cc's?
Anyhow, the fuel line should come up out of the tank to a purge valve and to the carb- might run under the carb, but is not under the engine.
Perhaps you are replacing an impulse line that would run from the bottom of the cylinder to the carb- but not carry fuel?

Yes, that is not a fuel line but a pulse line from the crankcase to the carb- it allows a pulse of gasses to activate the fuel pump diaphragm in the carb to pump fuel.
Not sure who will carry parts for these in your part of the World.

Thanks for understanding, I didn't want to offend. I've been a mechanic forever and my career was in aviation. I remember when I called and engine a motor and I was quickly corrected. "a motor is at the end of a wire" I was told and have never forgotten.
Perhaps the easiest way to find parts is to try and find a saw someone has straight fuelled, or ruined in some other way as to make it somewhat worthless- cheap for you to buy, but has the part/parts you require.
I know saw shops here are full of consumer grade uneconomical repair saw wrecks- perhaps ask at local repair shops?
