I've been going through the saws that live out at my folks farm... Amongst them is a 2300 cva. It was stored with fuel for 6 years according to the tag that my father put on it. At any rate, I dumped what was left, and refilled, and while I could get it to fire, it wouldn't run... So I brought it home. Once here, I filled it again, and now it ran. Didn't do a damn thing to it. The fuel line is rock hard, so I'm going to want to replace that, and I suppose I'll put a new filter on it at the same time, since it can't hurt... Best guess is when I put fresh fuel in it out there, I probably didn't get enough in there to reach the filter that is suspended in space from the rock hard line...
So... I can order a piece from a parts place that lists that model that I've had good luck with before... However, that seems a bit silly for fuel line since they'll just send that same line that will turn rock hard again... What are you guys using for that tiny little line? My fuel line stash is all much heavier (mostly bigger 4 cycle and diesel stuff has had the plumbing done here), so I've nothing to even compare it to...
