I had quite a spell of CAD the past month or so, and I ended up with some very nice saws. Along with the runners were a couple of 026s I can't start. Both will run for a second with a cc of mix squirted into the carb, but they don't stay running. Both were supposedly runners, but, oh well. I think it's likely carb issues. My question is whether to buy a couple of new Walbro aftermarket carbs, spring for OEM, or get an ultrasonic cleaner and disassemble, clean, and rebuild the existing carbs. I always thought the OEM carbs on those were pretty good. I don't plan to try the ten dollar China carbs, it's hard to believe they would even work, let alone be reliable. These are not old worn-out saws, they look pretty good and have plenty of compression. Both are red lever earlier models.
What do y'all think? I no longer fancy myself a saw rebuilder, although I do know how to do seals and switch out most parts, and I've successfully rebuilt carbs if I boil them in the ultrasonic. I hope they both oil OK, because that's one thing I've never dealt with successfully.
Thanks.
Some how the seven saw plan became a seventeen saw plan...
