I brought an old homelite super 2 up from dads house to try to learn how to start tinkering with saws. The saw has sat and has not been ran much for the last 5-7 years. To my surprise it started up pretty easy, but needs some carb work i'm assuming. It'll run but you have to keep messing with the choke. I can some what work my around in a four stroke engine, but have never ever messed with 2 stroke. I would like to try and clean it up alittle bit and get it running alittle better. Is this a good first saw to try?( doesn't really matter if i mess it up). I tried searchin for old post on them, but couldn't find any? Does anyone know of any old post i could look at, or can someone kinda help me though this? I was talking with another guy locally to see if he could help me out, but he wasn't too motivated to help me, so maybe you guys can. He said the reeds were prolly shot? Could i muff mod it? i wanna try on an old saw before i attemp on one of my stihls( the guy didn't want to help me with the muffler mods on my stihls either) so i can get the hang of adjustin the carb. Would the choke have the same high low settings on it a shihl would? Thank you for all of your help in advance!
