Husqvarna 36 won't run

cheers guys, i'm sure a lot of people would think its daft putting any time or money into a £20 saw but its all about the learning curve for me. Round my way guys charge £35 an hour for working on saws, mowers etc. Hell they make as much money servicing saws as the guys that use them. I like taking something that's been labelled financially unviable to fix and getting it working again. Plus i'm all about the old school, my business is still in its early days so can't afford or justify throwing big money at new equipment, you can buy an older saw for little money, throw a few quid and a couple of hours at it and have something that can do anything a new saw can.

Point in question, went 50/50 on a job with a mate there a couple of weeks ago, row of 25 to 30ft conifers, 35+ft beech and a few holly trees needed taken down. Built up area, power lines, couple of them leaning over the garage. Anyway he brought his new £500 261c, I brought my £100 028av, bought it off ebay for £51 had been stripped of bar, chain, and a few other small parts, gathered up the missing bits and a good second hand 16" stihl bar, an unused chain that someone bought that was the wrong gauge for them. Ten minutes on the bench and it was up and running again, and making money!
