You know its old with those flat head screws holding on the side cover!🧐 Nice to hear it idling like it should! I have inherited one of these recently but the throttle and the choke are frozen up. I've been spraying it with some WD40 and carb cleaner to try and free them up.
@@TheRustyGarageandHomestead I forgot to mention the chain was froze up too. When I first brought it home two months ago I oiled the heck out of the chain and let it sit. I got it freed up after tinkering with it a bit yesterday evening. I took the chain off and soaked it in a bucket with a tiny layer of oil in it early Saturday morning and then put the chain, adjusted tension and laid a block of wood on top of the drag links and hammered the chain around backwards until I could move it freely by hand. Adding more oil of course along the way.
Thanks for watching. Depends what you need for it. You can still find alot of service parts on Amazon and ebay or other places online. They are really good old saws. This one is still going strong
in the past i had the same problem and the same fix solved it lol...thumbs up !
I'm glad it was am easy fix. Thanks for watching

Your on the right track. Sounds like it has sit along while to freeze up like that. Ull get it lined out just needs some tinkering
8 pulls to fire n start!
Not bad for a saw that had sat for alot of years
I just bought one of these at a second hand store, I took it to the local shop for a tune up, they said you can't get parts for this model anymore 😢
