well, the oil in the fuel tanks was actually bar oil. I dumped it and rinsed the fuel tank out several times with premix. nothing nasty came out. saw wouldn't start until I put a little premix in the spark plug hole. fired right up and ran great for like 5 seconds. did that several times but it dies and won't restart. need to figure out what carb I have and order a carb kit, some new duckbills. may have some bar oil in the carb or fuel line. when I cleaned the fuel tank the stone fuel line filter in the tank came off. did not see and signs of bar oil goo in the filter or line at the tank end. when I pull the covers off to look at the carb, will look at the air filter. I think this little guy is a runner.

this thing weighs a hair over 10lbs with the 16" bar and chain. 8lbs 1ounce power head only with no fluids.
for me, the top priority is getting everything clean. to do that properly everything has to be sealed. this engine is not going to be opened unless there is a problem when I put it back together so double sure it has to be sealed while cleaning.
I love that this saw has the double triggers as I prefer a rear handle.
I have 3 saws pulled apart on my work benches right now. 
all the rubber fuel and oil lines were gooey. I have a roll of tygon mx bike carb vent hose that is the same size so will use that.
I have this saw, ( a super2) .
It was handed down to me after my Dad passed away in 2014.
Its a great little saw and the dual triggers are AWESOME.

They make nice little pruning saws and climbing saws with a 12 inch bar and chain. Oregon A061 bar mount. Leon's chainsaw parts and repair does a video on replacing the bearings/seals with the part number.
thanks for the info. I will check it out.
I wonder who made this for sears? 35.00
Probably a roper
I remember a Roper appliance company way back. my dad had a sears or craftsman chainsaw when I was a kid. I think it was blue (60 some years ago). it was either one of these or made by homelite for sears.
Wow! That little beast was my 1st saw. Tornado took out the back yard when I was 12. 1982 Step dad bought a Pro Mac 650 and that little homie the week before it happened so we could heat the house with wood. Cool saw. Man did we ever heat with wood after that. Ah the good old days.
the carb on the Super 2 was full of sticky bar oil. oozed out of the inlet on the bench. coated all of the membranes and passages. shot carb cleaner thru everything followed by compressed air.
this is what was packed over the filter screen. bar oil and sawdust.
blowing compressed air through carb passages is not a good thing to do.
There are check valves that can get damaged

Are you fishing fer sympathy? Or Looking fer an "ATTABOY"? Maybe you deserve BOTH!! More than one is FUN UNLESS YA lose a piece. I Have some Homies I hope to get to someday/year.I have 3 saws pulled apart on my work benches right now.
when I read your post, I goggled it after, and you are entirely correct. somehow, I have gotten away with it on the other 2 saws I did. hope I didn't screw this one up. won't know until my other couple parts come in and I put the saw back together. what I read was about ama carbs having internal check valves. any idea if the Walbro HDC's have internal check valves? I'm used to Keihin and Mikuni dirt bike carbs.
thank you for this information.
