I have a Husqvarna 141 that is about 20 years old. It has only received occasional use over the years. I grabbed it a few days ago to cut up a downed tree and it wouldn't start. I had stored it empty and was trying it with brand new fresh pre-mixed gas. I was able to squirt some gas in the throttle body and it would turn over and run for a few seconds but it wouldn't start on its own. I pulled the carburetor, replaced the diaphragms with OEM parts and also replaced the gas line which was visibly hard, brittle, and cracked (I assumed this was the problem but since I had the kit I cleaned up the carb and replaced the diaphragms while in there). After buttoning everything up I was all convinced I was going to have success, but it still wouldn't run. Now, even worse, it won't even turn over with gas squirt directly into the throttle body. Does anybody have suggestions one what I may have done wrong to make the situation worse?
This is a great little saw, but it probably isn't worth it to have my local shop do a repair.
