So here are some photo updates.


I had a quick chance to attempt at fire up, but to no avail! It is not pumping fuel. I have some thoughts but not sure what the exact problem is.
It was a quick attempt a fire up, didn't pre-fill the fuel line with fuel or anything.

--Can these types of impulse driven carb pumps pump fuel a decent way (say a foot) through a dry line, or will I need to pre-fill the line? (no primer bulb on this carb)
--Will rather gentle turns of the prop pump fuel or will I need to get a starter on there. (as an aside, how does a starter not simply unscrew the prop hub (rh threaded) as opposed to turn over the engine?)
-- The saw did fire before break down, but the carb sat dry in-doors for maybe a month or two. Would that be enough to warrant the pumps drying up and needing a rebuild kit? I would rather trouble shoot to see if the issue is my carb adapter, the carb, or the tank plumbing, but I am not sure of ways to know if the carb pump is receiving impulse and/or is pumping... Anyone got any good tests to see where the breakdown is happening?
