Chainsaw Repair

Just had this super rednecked craftsman 2.3 chainsaw dropped off. Will try and get some pics of the rednecking later before I tear in.

What is the model number for the poulan 2300cva for the Craftsman versions if anyone knows.  I guess I can see if sticker shows.

Forgot to look at sticker.   

Muffler had been pried apart and put together wrong.  They had the missing back half bolt to hold bracket and halves togeether in the AF cover sticking up half way.  Fuel line as you can see.   Top handle all rednecked with washers so something missing. 

Carb not pulling fuel so guessing carb kit.  Checked and cut line ends off and reran fuel line on it for now. No holes or cracks in line so why I guess carb kit.

LOL.  I can see the MN sticker in one of the pics.  Somebody without a clue worked on that thing.

When the AV buffers are new they're handy saws.  When they get old and rotten the saws get sloppy feelin'.  Make no inferences of anything else with that statement please.

Because of the 27 mile long fuel line on those, if the impulse signal isn't strong (crank seals) and/or the carb diaphragms are sketchy, they don't pull fuel or tune for ****.  K10-WAT for the carb kit and 530019059 (available from your local Husky/Poulan parts source for about $4 each) for the seals. 

The current gas cap (to replace the lousy design that's on there now) is 530014347 (also both a Husky and Poulan part).  My Husky dealer had the cap and the crank seals in stock.  Cap was about $5.  They stock those parts as Husky sold a rebadged Micro (Husky 23C) for a few years.  If you happen on one of those (especially with a brake) I'd be interested in it BTW...

Thanks for all the info.

Now you tell me you are looking for a husky 23. Passed on one awhile back.  23C same as what I call 23?

Yep.  Same saw.  Not a 'must have'................but I would like to pick one up someday.

I put that 150 info in the 150 thread down in homelite. Just so you all know.  Some useful info.
