Lots of info on the known issues like the afore mentioned lower case bolts, also the intake plastic clamp. I hope you dumped the old fluids out before trying to start, not knowing how long the gas has been in the saw. Sounds like a carb cleaning is in order, paying attention to the screen on the inlet side as well as the filter in the tank. These are dead simple saws with a cult following, after you get the bugs worked out, you’ll understand why. Good luck, and don’t be afraid to research it on the web, YouTube has many good videos on it!Status update: I have the 034 Stihl running beautifully, it's now my daily use saw.
I had the Husqvarna 350 running briefly after pulling it for about an hour.... Now I can't even manage that. Spark plug is good and clean, so is the air filter. Can smell gas after the first pull with the throttle level in, although it smells pretty lean. I poured a mystery fluid out of both gas and bar oil tanks. A deep dark blue/green colour. Sure don't taste like gas or oil. Any suggestions where I should be looking for issues next? Also, any info or ideas on the fluid would be appreciated
