Spring start-up prep?

[fred_S260]

Gentlemen,

If a saw has sat all winter, do you do anything special before starting it up for the first time in the spring?

Thanks.

If you stored it dry just oil and gas it up with fresh gas. If you didn't remove the fuel the last time you used it, good luck.

No problem with premixed Alky fuel, like Aspen......

I guess it all depends on how well you put it away.....There's a thread going now "mothballing for dummies"
Quick look at the plug assuming it was stored dry, fresh everthing and don't forget the air cleaner.
The best of luck...

I have two older Remingtons I picked up, one is an SL-9, the other is the older top handle saw, I cant remember the model without running to the shop. I'll see what I have and get in touch.
