fuel lines on Craftsman chain saw?

I have a Model 356.352161, 2.2 cu. in./2-cycle 16 inch chain saw. I tried using it to day and is started for about 3 minutes then died. I found that all my fuel lines were cracked and off of their ports. It seems there are 3 different size lines. None were hook up so I don't know what goes where. There are two ports on the primer bulb, two ports on the carb., and one hole going into the tank with a filter and another small hole going into the tank. Could you PLEASE advise me what goes where or a simple diagram.

The primer bulb sucks gas through the carb.

The filter will go directly to the carb.
the suction side of the primer goes to the other carb port.
the other primer port goes to the gas tank (Return line no filter.)
If you are unsure of the carb in and out ports try it one way and see if you can suck gas thru. it. if not reverse the lines.
