.........Gentlemen.... And especially the tree troll....I have just become the new father of a husky 257 . I was hired to completly clean out a home to be sold. The family members went through and took every thng that they wanted . and I was hired to finish. This saw was in a craftsman chainsaw case. and looks to have had very little use two chains that have almost no use and one was still in the store plastic. A little Research shows that it was made between 2001 and 2009, im not sure of that . I have gotten it to start once . it has a compression release , and as I said it started once . Heres the rub, If I let the saw set with the nose up fuel runs out of it. When I got the saw it had fuel in it and it may have been there for many years..... If I keep pulling the handle It masively floods. It sounds like maybe a set of gaskets for the carb would be in order ?.. i AM VERY GOOD WITH MECHANICAL THINGS But I have never dismantled a carb like this ..I think this would be a great intermediate, ground saw . I think it has a 20in blade . What should a tune-up cost.... What should i do......... THE LURE OF EASY SAWS, HAS A VERY STRONG APPEAL... Thanks for your time Dave1
