Hello -
I'm new to this site, my first post.
I need some help with my saw. It's an old McCulloch -not sure how old and I'm not sure how to identify it (no numbers obvious). It sat in storage for somewhere around 10 years. I sprayed some carb cleaner in the spark plug hole ad directly into the carb and it fired right up for a second or two. I dumped the fuel in the tank and gave it a little fresh, but it just wants to burn the carb cleaner. I tried adjusting the carb screws, but without knowing what they do, I wasn't getting any results.
The saw itself and two "knobs" right on either side of the throttle trigger - one is the oiler, and I really don't know what the other is - it's long and goes right into the carb. It also springs right back after it's pushed in. I don't think this saw has a choke on it - at least not one I'm used to. Anyway, I was hoping to get some tips on getting it to idle and maybe identify it.
Thanks!
