Neighbor had a HUGE oak taken down yesterday ($8100, and there's still about 50' standing!). Got them to deliver about 5 of those big limbs into my "back yard" (the opposite side of that alley, unfortunately I just don't have room to stack any more). They wouldn't take the $20 I offered them. Had hoped to C/S/S today. Went to start the chainsaw, no go. Went to fill with fresh gas--someone stole my gas can. Bought more gas, spark plug while I'm at it. Nope. OK, took off carb, air filter, disassembled/cleaned. Now it starts for 1/2 sec, then dies. OK, maybe I missed something. Took off carb again. Repeated maybe 3-4 times before I gave up and figured I needed a rebuild kit. Ordered one. Went down to give it one more try. Opened the gas tank to check the fuel filter. It was lying there, not connected to the hose, which was floating somewhere not in contact with gas. Aha! Went to reattach, fuel line split. Tried that a couple of times, but fuel line kept disintegrating. Boo. Have a new air filter, fuel filter, and fuel line in addition to the rebuild kit. Spent way too much time on this today, but hopefully will be running great by the weekend...
Figuring it's good for 1/2-3/4 cord at least, which will put me 3 years ahead (using what I used last winter), or at least 2+.
