Hey guys, unfortunately I did not grow up in a mechanically inclined family so everything I’ve learned has been self-taught or researched online. My greatest accomplishment was rebuilding my push mower’s carb and getting it to run. I know, pretty lame.
My father-in-law paid $25 for an 026 that wouldn’t start and gave it to me. I’d like to try my hand at getting this thing to run. My biggest fear is taking things apart and not really understanding their function, but at some point I need to get over that. I thought this would be a great time to try.
What would be the process you experts would follow to see if you could get the saw started and running? What would you do first, second, third, etc? At what point, assuming your knowledge was limited like mine, would you give up? What parts should be replaced compared to being cleaned and put back on?
Thanks in advance for any and all help!!
