I just bought a Craftsman 636.795454 and was looking for info about it and stumbled across your site here. If I can't get it running, I would be interested in selling it or parting it out. I have another one that looks just like it, but it doesn't have the numbers on it any longer. I can post pics if interested.

Just pulled down my Brushwhacker (37.7 cc) after about 10 years of not having run it. Didn't start on the 10th pull, so I checked the spark (still good) but gas isn't getting through, so I pulled the carb (it's a Mikuni and they're still in business). So I've got my fingers crossed on it still being functional after cleaning. There's not much in there to go wrong. I think I bought the think in 1990.

The last time I used it was with a 10" carbide saw blade to clear small trees and a blackberry thicket. It did the job very well--it's a real beast. I've put a line head on it as my regular trimmer has rotted out the carb innards and I'm waiting for the rebuild kit.

15 minutes later, after cleaning out the carb, the thing started on the second pull. They don't build 'em like this any more, do they?
