The 5020 is a strato design.The spring antivibe design is flawed in the fact that when using the top of the bar, the air throat of the carb closes partially,....effing up the mixture and hence the running of the saw.Some don't show it immediately,....but with just a little time they do.Take a look. Pull your air filter cover and air filter off the non running saw and put the bar in different positions to flex the antivibe while you have the throttle wide open and watch the top throat of the carb. Typically it shows when up cutting, but also when just the weight of the saw flexes the springs (IIRC).Are you clear on my instructions about the making and fitment of the strap?FWIW, I have 4 of these saws and I like them. 2 with 16" 3/8 and 2 with 18" .325Slightly de tuned (on paper?) and engineered to be heavy (zinc alloy clutch cover) so as to differentiate from the premium brand.

FWIW, I have 4 of these saws and I like them. 2 with 16" 3/8 and 2 with 18" .325
