Find a dumpster and thank me later

I see it all the time.
They bring cheap junk for me to fix..
(A pal-o-mine paid 50 bucks for this one at a yard sale. Yikes!)
I always tell em the same thing...
By the time you pay for parts and labor,
you could of bought a new one.

They just wont listen.

Clean the carb or New carburetor and gas lines.

Beyond that it's not worth it unless you are bored.

Thanks for the help fellers.
This one is headed to the dumpster.
The intake manifold is split wide open.

Best place for them. Just last week I had a chap tell me he had 4 chainsaws for me that needed an overhaul, when I seen them that is exactly what I told him, toss em.

I would rather work on this kind of stuff.

Keep the bar and chain, they'll probably fit on something else..

After I sobered up from the other night,
here's what I got...
I thought the rubber intake was split.
But it aint.
It looks lke someone bought this saw..
ran it for one day..
then just let it set.
I ordered a new carb for it.
I know I should have thrown it in the dumpster the other night.
Gosh Dang It..

 

[a. palmer jr.]

In all honesty I would have tried to get it running if it was mine...

 

[Old2stroke]

If time isn't important, always fun to see if it will run or at least determine if it is too expensive to make it run.

I did order a carb kit..
The kit came with a carb, and a spark plug, and
two of everything else.. Filters, purge bulbs, lines and gaskets.
Took me some trial and error.

Runs like new...

I got 5 hrs in it.

For my pals I charge 20 bucks an hour plus parts..

Keeps Beer on the table.
