Last Year I bought a used husky 261 for a mere $100.00. The previous owner couldn't get it to idle. It ran great though. I bought a
couple new chains, a case and was ready to head up the mountain...I thought. Once I got there It wouldn't start. Pull after pull just got me more and more frustrated. I came back down off the mountain drained the tank and put new fresh fuel in it. still nothin. I took it to a repair shop, and after about a week picked it up. They got it runnin but still could not get it to idle. I was then able to use it for
about 50 cuts (one tank of Gas) As it got hot, it would shut down. After I waited for a few minutes It would start right up. Then I ran out of gas, a haven't been able to get it started since. I bought and installed a brand new Carberator and still nothin. By now I have
invested over $280.00 into this saw and I am ready to trash it. What should I do? Is it a saw worth keeping, or should I simply
consider it a lesson learned and move on?
Any Help/ Ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
