i have been on a fix it binge with my outdoor equipment that i have laying around. my lastest is a a mac 3516 chainsaw that i got new in the 90's . used it mostly to trim branches and never used it much. its sat unused for maybe 15 years or so.
i decided to try to start it up again . would not start so i decided to rebuild the carb. got a kit that cost $8 . rebuilt it and its till won't start . has fuel, spark etc. it would fire up and then die. not sure whats going on. carb is no longer made, even in China.
on a good day these fetch $25 or so . many say they are garbage homeowner crap . So far i have spent $8 and a couple of hours . So when is it time to stop putting money in it?
