New chainsaws!

[jamesd]

I was going through my dads shed today and found to old husky 50's and thought i would try and start them and after a few pulls they were offf . I was amazed they hadn't been started for about 2 years! the only thing that was wrong with them was the stop button did not work, does anyone know if this was a common problem with these saws and how to fix it?

 

Another saw i found was a stihl 010av which did not want to start. I am thinking of sripping this saw down completely and rebuilding it. Has anyone done this on this saw before/ is is doable?

 

All advice would be great! Thanks, James.

Both are fixable depending on your abillity! The stop switch will either need cleaning or the wire between the coil to the switch repairing.

The 010 should be OK, many parts still around.

Ok cheers. Do you know where i should start with the 010av? carburettor, spark plug etc? and is there a repair manual around that i could use as a guide?

 

I have tried pulling it over put there is nothing so i guess the spark plug would be the first thing to look at?

 

The side casing is also damaged at the bottom so i would need a new one of those any ideas where i could get one? (its the casing on the bar and chain side not the one with the starter cord in)
