Yes I bet they do, I thought i would order some online though.

Well, I have a question, I just fixed my old craftsman it had a rotted off fuel line. On this machine the ID of the Primer and the Fuel line is the same as are the carb fuel barbs. The holes into the tank are slightly different though. I think the ID is 1/8 or slightly less +/_ the OD sizes are...

Kind of a timely thread. I have a old (80s?) maybe Craftsman (green cowling) trimmer and I think it needs a kit. I have not taken it apart yet though. Today I was wondering maybe I should just buy a carb got to be close to the cost of a kit.

The immortal words of Red Green

I was unaware this thread was still a thing, Cool I think this means I'm trending or sumpthin...........

I have one and when you get used to it, it works very well you can make chains very sharp.

Mineral Spirits, I never thought of that. I am going to get a re-fillable air pressurized sprayer for my shop. was told many people fill them with mineral spirits instead of bulk carb cleaner or brake cleaner because its cheaper.

Just found out I had 2 jugs already in the shop and My wife hinted there be a Christmas gift of the same under the tree as well. Looks like I may have struck OIL!

I cant read that? how do I know if its a Coole Idee?? Did the google translate,.. sounds like a good plan of action.

I just bought 12 gallons of Bar Oil at TSC in their description it is summer oil (thicker oil) I have a gallon about 1/2 full I have been using. The next day I go out to cut I will add a little diesel fuel to that jug to thin it out some. That is about a technical as I get. I too have poured oil...

Boy I opened a can of Bright Red with yellow recoil handled plastic worms here, didn't I? The 009 will get run occasionally as I think it may be a very low hour saw, and it ought to stay that way.

Yes, it doesn't take much time to outweigh their worth for certain. You could never afford to have a shop tinker on a hundred dollar saw for sure.

I too have a less than high dollar saw I am trying to resurrect. It is a Homelite / Poulan I think?-- 33cc Ranger. It is also a 16" bar saw 3/8 low pro chain. I used it quite a bit 10 years ago or so and as I remember it ran pretty well too. The other day after tugging on my Dolmar 5105 10...

Yes, I really don't have a specific use for it, I will run it a bit from time to time. For now, I will keep it in the back of my Ranger for lately with all the wind we get there always seems to be a tree between me and where I wish to go.

I honestly did not have to do much to it, it has a wonderful purple spark when seen though my spark plug tester window. I dumped out the old gas it was quite rich in color I am guessing this may be 40:1? I put in a little new 50:1 and a few extra drops of 2-stroke oil and shook the heck out of...
