:censored: saw!
The recoil spring on the starter unit keeps pulling out, resulting in half the cord hanging down by the saw handle. Not sure how many times i can rewind it in a day.....4 times so far is pissing me off.
ok, started her colld, as per ScottR's post. No prob, fires up, screams blue bloody murder until you blip the fast idle off
Runs fine WOT in a cut, cuts pretty damn nice actually, considering the small bar and low pro chain (ya need a file the size of a toothpick to sharpen
)
suffers at idle. When you adjust the T screw to the point where the chain starts to spin and then back it off a half turn......that works, BUT then the saw cuts out.
At this point restarting is impossible. I then adjusted the T screw a bit, it idles fine but the chain spins. Fiddled with the L mixture a bit, leaned , richened it, saw seemd to idle fine but then cutout (both lean and rich and in the middle of the L adjustment)
have'nt changed the plug yet, everything is closed (i take it its xmas eve?
) will pick one up on wednesday.
i did think meybe the gas was the culprit, but i run the same gas/mix in my husky 61 this morning and that saw just screams thru a log and idles fine......so i can rule out the fuel.
maybe some crap in the carb, i have'nt rebuilt it yet or ran a copper wire thru the passages with carb cleaner...
might just take er down to the saw Guru at Pacific Felling Inc here locally. Dude is incredible with finicky saws.
trials and tribulations of cheap saws eh?
