Choke flap in the air cleaner probably did/does not close fully or air cleaner was not installed...
Welp that sounds like good news..from the pics the saw looks pretty nasty, i would tear it all the way down except for splitting the cases and give it a good cleaning. Can be done in sink or bath tub with a brush and degreaser. Replace fuel line, impulse line, intake boot and anything else that you may find that needs replacing. Would be a great learning experience also and to get familiar with your saw. Its all a pretty easy procedure.
Yea, it is pretty nasty, and thats after a pretty good surface clean. I probably will at some point try and take it all apart and clean it really good. A few months ago i bought a dirt bike that wasnt running, the guy said the carb just needed to be cleaned, which i knew wasnt true. I ended up rebuilding the whole engine. That was an amazing learning experience, and ive always said that everything i fix or have to take apart i feel better about, cause I know how everything goes together, and how it works.
I was thinking about getting a new handle assembly off ebay or something, cause the bottom part of the handel on mine is cracked and missing a piece, and it would just look a lot better than trying to clean the one i have. Any experience with, probably cheap
