My Dentist called me and asked if I would adjust his saw for him. He said it bogs down in the cut, so I cleaned it up, checked the fuel filter(seems to move fuel easily(tank looks spotless) and tried cutting with it.
It doesn't seem to have the power in the cut, but I am out to the stop on the high speed adjustment. The interesting thing is when I tried adjusting the high speed, the saw lost RPM when I went clockwise. I know I need to be out to the stop on high adjustment, so shouldn't the saw try to speed up as I lean it out. The plug is nice and tan and I don't see any scoring. It idles very good and goes up from idle nice and smooth, but can't seem to find the power band.
When I am in the cut and it bogs down, if I pull out and hold it on full throttle for a few seconds, it will climb up in RPM. It sounds lean, but since I am used to old Jonsereds and the "4-stroking", maybe that is what these newer saws are supposed to sound like?
Anyway, I was hoping to tune it up for him and get it back to him for the weekend. I definitely don't want to mess it up or my next cavity might be drilled without modern painkillers!
Point me in a direction, please! Rebuild carb??
