Hi, all-
I have a Husky 570 chainsaw that I am having trouble starting.
It's been sitting for a few years, may have been left with some old fuel for some of that time and I am wondering if the carb is gunked up (Is it true that Husqvarna's are more prone to that than other saws?)
I put some fresh fuel in the saw, as I said it won't start.
But I removed the air filter, sprayed a little Gumout & it will run off that for about a second.
What are my options for resolving this?
Is there an additive I can put in the fuel tank that will clear out any gunk?
Does starting it with Gumout help things along at all?
How involved is taking it apart and cleaning it up?
Worst case I can take it to my local small motor shop and he'll fix it for a hundred bucks, but I'd rather do it myself if I can.
Assuming it's not too gummed up, what might work?
Best,
Chris
