If you dont do much chainsawing you might by an electric one ... Then you could let it sit for as long as you want ...
Well, After cleaning up some fallen branches and leaves, I did have a tree branch fall on the back fence. However, it wasn't from the golf course, like usual. It actually came off an old hardwood that the wind broke a larger branch and it had to hit the fence. But I am so familiar with repairing that fence now, that the fence and I are old buddies these days.
I have to say life is so funny. I was using my old Poulan pro chainsaw and it stopped running and I couldn't get it to crank again. Sooooo I took the carb off and decided the carb AND the fuel lines needed cleaned and fuel lines replaced. Wow that was interesting. Changing those fuel lines is a project all in itself. Of course I cut the line diagonally and with some hemostats I eventually got them all changes. And I disassembled the carb, but couldn't see anything wrong. I used the usual carb spray and air and re-assembed it again. But that saw would not even think of cranking. So working on it for two days, on and off, I decided to check for spark. I know I should have checked that first, but I did have a fuel line leaking and thought that was the problem. And there was NO spark, not with the plug or a spark tester either. So I ohmed out the coil and it seem to read resistance like I though it should. But still no spark.
So I decided to buy a new coil at one of the local yard equipment places and they didn't have one or ever going to get one since it was a Poulan and they were a Stihl dealer. So I decided that since my old saw was a 2009 model and a Poulan, I bought a new Stihl chainsaw.
Oh I was excited to get it home and use it. Well that excited feeling dwindled pretty quick. I bet I pulled that rope at least 50 times (off and on, I am not as gung ho as I used to be) and not one sound of any firing. And the dealer actually filled it up with fuel and bar oil and fired it up at the store. I pulled some more, with the choke in every possible carb setting, with nothing. Then I read the owners manual and it stated that if it didn't crank, to remove the plug and dry it out and reinstall again. I did that and yes the plug was wet. I clean it off and put it back in and It fired up.
So the funny part is I couldn't get the Poulan to crank and bought a new Stihl and it didn't crank. Life is so strange somethings. :lol:
You just have to laugh some times! I mean what else can you do.
