[AT] O.T. Older Homelite chain saw parts

I just replaced the carb on my Husqvarna 45 chain saw circa 1983. It was 
cheaper for me to buy the whole carb complete ($12) than a rebuild kit. 
I was hesitant, but I installed in and it runs like a scalded dog, no 
adjustments necessary.

Wanted to buy replacement filter but found it obsolete. I just couldn't believe this. I cleaned it by spraying brake cleaner on the outside and using compressed from the inside. Worked great. I just couldn't scrap a good old chain saw because of an obsolete part that should remain in stock.. Another example of a "throw away" society!  Joe Hardisky  Ryman Farm  Dallas, PA
