I recently picked up an older (70's?) Mastercraft chainsaw at a garage sale for $3. Pull cord was broke but I was told it ran last year.
It is a 33cc/2 cu. in. motor with a 14" bar. Part # 54-5662-6 and Ser# 6F1620116 made in Canada. I have replaced the cord & plug and while doing this I inspected the carb & combustion chamber which seam quite clean. Not seized. I also cleaned the saw in general including the plugged up foam air filter. Now it's time to try to start it.
By the sticker & my calculations it appears to be a oil/fuel mixture of about 18/1. 1/2 pint to (Canadian) gallon. Does this seem about right?
Any other tips?
