I have a Craftsman 358354831 chainsaw. I believe it is a rebranded Poulan 3700. The last two times it was used, it ran poorly. Now it won't start at all. I have 60 lbs compression, and have no noticeable suction at carb. There is also considerable play in the crankshaft bearings. Probably leaking vacuum at the seals. Rings, bearings, and seals are NLA. Maybe ebay or a NOS dealer if I am lucky. The Flywheel is good, and I have spark. It won't even pop, when ether is sprayed in the cylinder. I would think it would.

Is this saw worth fixing? Does anyone have a source of NOS parts? 530032051 bearings-530019097 seals- 530015354 thrust washers-530025933 piston rings.
