On the wood cutting thing, tonight I started off getting the Craftsman/Poulan saw sharpened, filed the rakers down since it looks like they're way behind as the chain is about done... While in there I investigated the carburetor and found the return line falling out of the tank so I fixed that then pulled the spark plug that was kinda gross so I put it through the spark plug cleaner (I'm cheap, and the dumb thing works...). Runs like a top and should cut way nicer.
Then I moved to the bigger Homelite, found the clunk loose in the tank so extracted that and put a new fuel line on. Now the dang thing won't run which I just realized might be related, I bet the screen in the carb is plugged or something, it'll fire once on choke then not again until you clean the spark plug off and it'll just do that again, tried two plugs so that's not it, it's flooding out or something, gotta get the carb apart... also need to check the pulse line to the carb, it's the same gooey stuff that was dissolving in the tank... Oh, and I realized the bar isn't a 24" like I thought it was, pretty sure it's a 20" which if I checked my math right isn't much bigger than the 18" on the Poulan and my brothers Echo... it just looks bigger with the bigger sprocket tip and wider chain... The 55cc compared to the ~40cc saws would be a difference but not sure how much I want to worry about it...
