KB,
Thanks for the quick response. I've double-checked the IDs. The gas line appears to be 3/16" and the pin lock connector is 1/4". That said, I set the line in boiling water for 20 min or so and it was still pretty rigid after all that time. I was not able to get it over the pin lock connector.
I'd heard about NE regulators being suspect, so upgrading is definitely in the plans (sooner or later). I'm intrigued by the splicing idea and will probably research that next. Any recommendations/instructions on the best way to do that is appreciated.
Regarding the 3rd option, I think I'm following you. You're saying to do that in order to replace the existing line with a larger line, but still using the existing regulator connector, correct? Not sure I understand why I'd only get one shot. Is that because there's a risk of damaging the connector with the saw, making it incapable of keeping an airtight seal?
Thanks again for the help!
