Diesel fuel at the farm, parts washer cleaner at work, learned my lesson about purple power on a 3400, faded out the color.

I know fun right! I was sure smiling at myself after I used it. On the bright side, I found that some fine polishing compound for aluminum with WD-40 on a rag brings back the color to nearly original.

Well how was everybodys weekend? Mine was pretty good. Got disappointed by the ms361 but the Homelite 350 came to the rescue and got the job done. Got some more cleaning done on the Mac 250. It's a very pretty saw underneath all the grime. Heads up for those looking for a cheap cleaner, don't use purple power, keresose is about the best you can get. The purple power dulled the paint really bad on the Mac and didn't even clean that well. Lesson learned on an unseen area, and hopefully I can spare someone else some agony.

Yes, it dulls it badly, already learned that lesson lol

I had something weird happen with a saw. It's an early 024. I cleaned up the saw, then replaced the clutch side seal. I then found the fuel line to be bad. I replaced the fuel line and tried to start it. It wouldn't start. Then I order a carburetor kit. 1 week later I take the carburetor off the saw and I check for impulse and there is gas blowing out of the impulse line when I pull it. The tank was about 1/2 full before I let it set a week and by now it had emptied. I rebuild the carburetor and I then can't get it to hit or fire. What could be wrong?
I took the plug out and let it sit. It will be a while before I get to work on it because I have to have a 1949 ford truck repainted by the first of August.

Is it possible for the fuel tab to leak into the crank case?

 

[s sidewall]

Did you turn the saw over to clear out the crank case while pulling the starter rope?

I did not. I will try that before i try to start it again. I still can't figure out how it got that bad flooded. I did have the cylinder off so I know it wasn't flooded when I got it.

I bet the bottom end is full of fuel, tank vent may be plugged pushing fuel past the needle and seat slowly filling the crankcase. Probly gonna have to pull it over alot of times with no spark plug

If I ever flood out a saw or a trimmer, I put the exhaust port low, upside down or crankcase up, and try to get what's in crankcase out while pulling the starter recoil.

We figured not to post too much while you were gone so that you wouldn't have to read a lot to catch up.

Yupp got a place over in Gruene, TX that I loooove to eat at. Primarily because it has the best onion rings I've ever had and they are awesome!!! And it has Gruene Hall...I'd imagine at least some of y'all know what that is...

Hello again everyone! Just finished a mechanicals rebuild to get my Remington LogMaster running. Needless to say after some fragile soldering on the coil and some fresh Tilly rebuild kits she runs and starts great! Please click on link for video of the first run! Please know the tuning wasn't perfect quite yet! Hope everyone is well.
