    Chain saw  old gas not removed
    I have a chain saw that has had gas in it for approx 2 yrs. Supprizingly enough it was still liquid. I poured the gas out & I am wondering what I should use or do next? Any help appreciated

    It's not likely the chain saw will start with all the old gas still in the carberator. You can buy gas treatment just for this problem. Fill up with fresh gas and try to start it. Chain saws can be a real pain to keep running

    Hi Soma, This is a little late but I just came on board. Go down to your auto supply store and purchase a can of "CARB CLEANER" this is solvent that will not only clean your carburetor, but also linkage, the automatic choke on your car and PVC valves. Good luck, Tom

    What I have done in the past is clean the tank and carburator. Be careful with carb parts so they all go back in the right place. Use a good carb cleaner that can be found at most parts stores. Peprhill
