Just received my second Earthquake yesterday.

It was packed loose in a big auger box. I'm sure it got jostled around in shipping.

It had been run before. 1/2 a tank of bar oil in it. Some saw dust through out.

I figure this one was retuned to a retailer and I'm sure it ran like GARBAGE.....

Upon close examination I noticed the spark plug was not seated fully. A jucy radial pattern of oily residue was all over the top of the cylinder.

I pulled the plug and examined the threads and what I could see of the cylinder walls and piston. All looked well.

I reinstalled the plug correctly and started it up.

Seem to run OK.

I now need to get the DD carb tool to richen up the Hi mix and I need to learn how to do a MM.

Came with the saw, scrench, photo copied manual, bar, chain, and bar cover.

I'm newly diagnosed with CAD.......

I made a rookie CAD diesease mistake........

My wife came to the basement where I was examining the "new" Quake.....She did a quick area survey and said ..."You have three saws?" Turned and left......boy I'm glad the gun safe was closed......:msp_wink:

thats the way one of them looked that i got the other day,, did the MM,,pulled the base gasket,,slotted the high/low on the carb and ported the cylinder,, runs pretty dang good now

Still waiting on my second Quake. FedEx says she left St Paul MN on the 3rd and disappeared. With my luck, it was probably packed in a crappy box that fell apart and is now sitting in a corner in some Fed Ex warehouse - never to be seen again .....

I can relate to that :msp_biggrin:

There are 5 chain saws in the garage (which isn't bad)

I was working in the barn and someone came in (I can't say who) and there are two saws on the bench two on the cabinet on the east side wall four on the north side cabinet and 4 in box saws on the floor and two Earthquakes still boxed up that haven't been open yet :jester:

I got sorta the same problem, fedex said they tried to deliver on the 3rd. then said they came back on the 4th and left it at the front door. Im wondering how they got by my security gate and camera.
Contacted seller and he said its not his problem take it up with ebay, hes not givin me a saw for free. I never asked for a replacment. I just wanted him to put in a claim with fedex.
