How do you (or do you) clean up your chainsaw before working on it?
Pressure wash? compressed air? Just loosen up the dirt by hand/towel and not touch the part you are not working on? Or using a part cleaner sink with circulating degreaser?
No dirt should ever go into carb or cylinder/crankcase, right? What I do is remove all covers, carb, and muffler, plug the holes with some cloth, and pressure wash (my 2400 PSI strong enough yet not breaking anything) everything and blow dry all the pieces or put them under the sun for a while. I hate all the splashes on me when pressure washing thou and I am making a mess up my backyard.
Is there a better way?
