Chain saw getting fuel?
My old (1984?) Husqvarna 50 chainsaw stopped running. It just stopped. Have checked most of the obvious things. I have the feeling it's not getting fuel, though the fuel pick-up, etc., look ok where you can see them. Maybe there's a leak someplace I can't see. How can I tell if it is getting fuel? I took out the plug, which was dry. Tried pulling the starter, including with the choke on. Did not see any fuel. Should I, necessarily?

Not seeing it isn't conclusive. Put a spoon of gas mix down the plug hole and see if it will fire with full throttle, no choke. If it does fuel is the problem. Pretty much says put a kit in the carb or get another one. Price of a carb is often cheaper than a full kit.

Have you checked for spark? Generally a fuel problem presents itself gradually but not always.
