[SEL] Titan chainsaw

[Richard Strobel]

Couple days ago, I poured some lacquer thinner in the gas tank and drained 
it out yesterday. Using the carb drain, everything looked pretty clean so I 
pulled the plug and put some 2-cycle oil in the hole and pulled it thru a 
couple times.  The plug had excellent spark also.  Put everything back 
together and gave her a pull and she ran for about 3 seconds on the fumes. 
Will have to pull the carb and see why the float is stuck or whatever.

Thanks for the replies guys!!
