When I bought my Husky, i was given a jonesered 525. I was told that it didn't work, so I put it on the shelf, and eventually gave it to my brother in law to put in his garage to fix up one day.
He came over and asked if he could borrow my chainsaw, so i decided this was a good time to fix his up... I took it home, poured out the gas that was in there, filled it half way, and filled the bar oil. I pulled it a couple of times and it seemed like it wanted to go, but wouldn't idle. I pulled the air filter, and it it was caked with dust, so I just pulled it out. With the air filter removed, it started up first pull! The chain was a little loose, but once I adjusted it, seemed to work and get oiled....
Now all I need to do is get an air filter and sharpen the chain for him, and he is in business!
