hi all, i just bought a 031 for a parts saw though it looked in great condition. i thought it was too good to be torn apart so i put gas to it. fired and ran great. i gave it a quick tune, it was a little rich on the top end, and took it to the wood pile. i cut for about 15 mins. and it started popping during acceleration, like it was lean. i richened h and L both and it made no difference and kept shutting off. so i put it back on the truck and finished with my other saw. when i got home i took off the carb and pulled the filter and both were clean as can be. i put it back togethere and cut with it. i fell three small ash trees and started to cut them up when it started again. so, i took it back home and put on another coil ,same thing still doin it. this saw cut like a champ when cold but when hot it wont hardly run at all. it does not have the original condensor in it . it has the little black replacement though its still underflywheel. you guys seem to be the @#*% on this kinda stuff. anything will be helpful thanks
