I have done some searching but can't seem to find an answer.
Since brand new, May 2012, my saw has been hard to start from cold. It's the freezing/sticking/locking up/kick back from cold that makes it hard to start. Very difficult to hold the saw down.
It's had only 10 tanks of fuel through it so I took it into the dealer for its first service.
(I might add I fully clean it out after every use)
I mentioned the starting issue and a quick drop test revealed that there is indeed a lot of sticking when cold. Dealer was quite surprised.
Saw seems to run fine otherwise, perfect starts warm or hot, idle is fine, seem to cut alright power wise. I've been doing heaps of very dry eucalyptus wood lately around 16-18 inch diameter seems to cope fine.
I'm just curious about what the cause of the sticking is when starting cold.
Any information greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Justin
