Dug up a little craftsman chainsaw with a 16in bar, model 358.355161
Looks to be in good condition visually, i know for a fact this saw was used very little, never felled a tree even, just used on limbs. ive never over hauled a chainsaw or small engine past the easy stuff, spark plugs, carb gaskets, diaphragms, fuel lines and filters, air filter, stuff like that... its always done as needed, not all in one shot.
Im probably presuming a lot, but heck, a fella needs to learn sometime i guess. if you guys were wanting to do all the basic stuff to a project like this, where do you start usually? what is considered basic to yall?
ive found a carb rebuilt kit (never done a whole kit before), air filter and fuel line/filter parts online. prob will replace the spark plug too cause it wont hurt.
the bar isnt even worn on top, no telling how little this saw was used. I took a few pics, i just have one question, on the picture showing the chain adjustment..looks like a little plastic line similar to the fuel line just above it...i dont know if this is some line that broke off, or if it its just the oiler, and supposed to look like that. just wondered.
anyway, its not a bad lookin saw, no rust or abuse that i can see. should be fine for limbing up on a ladder or whatnot.
