I have an old (15+yrs) 16in craftsman chainsaw that I have abused, mainly leaving it outside. so I decided to get another saw for the hurricane. looked at stihl and echo but decided to go back to the craftsman since the old beater lasted so many yrs.
problem was I had to get a 20in. nto to mention a lot cheaper and it came with a case.
that SOB wore me out sunday cutting up trees, heavy.
so while the power was out I decided to et the 16in back out and get it running.
pulled the carb out and did a better cleaning of it, then poured the water out of the engine. poured oil back in and drained it. think I fixed the gas leak.
poured gas in it. took it a while but it fired up. did some carb adjustments and it runs pretty good. I even think it still has the original spark plug in it. fouled it a few times due to the water/oil that was in it.

people can brag all they want about expensive saws (stihl)but I will put my craftsman up against any of the expensive saws.
note sure about this new one with this new California CARB compliant crap.
California ruins it for everyone....

my weedeater is from the early 90's too. it has a john deere name on it but it looked like all the others when I bought it. just put another head on it that the string holder attaches to. the bearings in it went bad.
my lawn boy push mower is form the early 90's too.
I had not used it as much since my yard is so big now and the rings froze up and lost compression recnetly. BUT, I picked one up from the dump (no I am not a dump hunter, it was just there) that had the same motor. so I cleaned it up and got it started but swapped that motor over to my deck since it is aluminum.
I am going to put rings back on the old motor and see if it will still run.
BTW, all 2 strokes,
