Chainsaw Repair

fuel tank on my SXLAO sprang a leak. checked in to sealing the tank but looks like the cures would cost more than the saw. so, on to the second option - split the tank.
 not afraid to split the tank (been there, done that, but what a hassle) but before I do I was wondering does anyone have trouble getting it apart, acquiring new gasket, getting it to seal? anyone? thanks

Not familiar with that model. But I did split a tank on a super wiz 66. And made my own gasket from a cereal box. If yours has the Philip head screws they can be a pain to get out. I ended drilling the heads off the ones I could not get out, and vice gripped the studs out. Have also found that you can dip the end of your Philips screwdriver in valve lapping compound and it helps to grip a sloppy Philips head. Hope this helps.

just a belated update on this. turned out to be the grunged up check valve in the fuel cap. I never could get the thing to leak until once I tipped it up and it came pouring out of the cap. so, there ya be.

my leaks too, i had to use por15 or redcote
