[Vwdiesel] not diesel, chain saw fix question

[Bryan Belman]

thanks Kent.Will do, found u-tube on it.I will try swapping the carb from the parts chainsaw motor I have and if that does the same thing I will find the correct rebuild kit for the carbs and buy 2.
Then I will be set for a long time to come.the rebuild video was pretty easy, I will let the group know the outcome. Bryan Belman, Pt.

If the saw has been sitting for a few months with old gas, it probably has a clogged carb. My son put his mower away without running it dry, and I could get it to run on ether. I had to remove the jet and blow it out with compressed air to clear it. I put it back together and it started right up. Google how to remove and clean your carb. The mower had a single “bolt” on the bottom of the carb that was actually the jet. Small engine carbs are simple, so don’t be afraid to dig into it.
