Hey guys, my father passed away recently (R.I.P. Don ) and left me what remaining tools he had left. What a bittersweet time. One of the the things he left me was his Kioritz ECHO 602VL 20" chainsaw. It was made in the mid 70's and I learned on this saw. I cut hundreds of fiewood rounds with it and dropped many trees (we heated our house with wood when I was young and logged all the lots we built on).
Anyway, the saw hasn't been run in probably 10 years. Looks great as Dad always took care of his tools and I remember it being quite a beast of a saw for its' time. My plan is to get it running again to honor the memory of Dad & I cutting so much firewood together. They were good times. :thumbsup:
The tank was empty but it won't start. Where do I begin? Spray carb with carb cleaner, new plug & fresh fuel? I'm concerned it's so old that it might take 32:1.
Ideas?
