This may sound trivial, but how do most of you clean out all the junk in the "grid" that is on the pull start cover? I'm talking about the caked on stuff; not the loose debris you can slimply blow out with compressed air.

I want to be able to eat off of it. If i used it everyday that might be a little different. When i put it away i want it to shine like new. But that's just me. From the bar to the chain for it to be ready to go.

I use a typewriter brush (big toothbrush) and compressed air to clean mine up.

First thing when i buy a used saw is clean that crap out, then i never let it get like that again. I give it a quick blow with air and wipedown when i get home.

x2!!!! It is 10x easier to keep up with it along the way. Pull the thing off and go at it with a toothbrush from both sides

Now thats some deep cleaning there...
Inside and outside !
Without disassembling completely the saw, I remove clutch cover, flywheel cover, and other plastic covers, take a long and thin screwdriver, start scraping the gunk around and blow it away with compressed air. Careful with rubber and wire parts.
