I got a saw in last week. .....
So stinky and gummy the owner left
Cheap gas in it for two years
Cobey, you might try filling that saw with TruFuel and see if it runs on it. I had a gummed up carb apart and didn't have any cleaner to flush it out so I used some canned fuel. I watched that stuff just dissolve the gummy film from the diaphragms and parts!

Might be worth a try.

To late, the parts are now a gummy film..
No cleaning just replacing :(

I put a small amount of my favorite
Oil in canned gas anyway......

My guess is vp is branching out
Or on hard times.
This being said ,
Between Walmart and tractor
Supply vp can be had cheap right now

Anybody else notice how adding VP in a saw that has been running pump gas for years will cause the diaphragm to harden? I have had this happen 3 times now. Saws were running fine on it's tank of Ethanol blend, filled it with VP/Ultra mix and partway through the tank it starts acting up. Pull the carb apart and the metering diaphragm is so stiff it crinkles.
