I found an 031av chainsaw in the trash a couple years ago, points and condenser needed replaced, so I replaced it with an electronic spark chip about a year ago. Also cleaned carb, and I got it to start, but wouldn’t idle well, but revved up quick and loud, had a great sound. I didn’t have a chain for it at the time, nor any trees to cut at the time, so it has sat in my garage, empty of gas as well.
So I have a chain now, and I put about year old gas in, and it started for a couple seconds, and I had to keepit throttled for it to stay running, but it would run poor and die fairly quick anyways. I got it to run a couple short times, and then now I can’t get it started.
I know now, my gas was pretty old, and bought new gas and mixed it fresh today. Also cleaned the carb, though it looked very clean already, and noticed that one of the rubber gaskets is warping or shrinking, I put it back together anyways and tried running it with new gas and can’t get it running.
Air filter and spark plug is brand new, Rubber air intake isn’t cracked or leaking, fuel line is good. Also impulse fuel pump line, I think is what it’s called, isn’t leaking or cracked, not clogged either.
I’m thinking of buying a cheap 15$ knockoff carb from eBay was wondering if anyone had any advice
