About fifteen years ago I did some tree clearing for my parents when they bought a house and my dad bought a chainsaw from SEARS with 18 inch blade. It cut very well for a few days and I ran it dry and oiled the cylinder for storage but a few years
later my dad used it for a few hours and put it away with gas in the tank and it has set for about ten years. I have lots of experience with cars, lawnmowers, motorcycles carbs etc but never disassembled a chain saw. Is it worth my time to pull the carb and soak
or clean out fuel lines and jets or other wise try to clean the inside using traditional techniques ? IE is the probability of success
pretty high or should I just bite the bullet and go buy another cheaper consumer brand chainsaw ? I have two other running 14 inch
blade chainsaws and the bigger 18 incher could often times come in handy. I did test for spark and the ignition works well.
