Did you take a picture of flywheel previously, that will tell you

 

[Kensie1988]

I just checked and it appears I did not, so moving forward I won't make that mistake again.

So how do I prevent that from happening again? What does pulling the pull cord out slightly prevent?

Ill just drop a couple dogs in an envelope pm me your address

When you shut off a saw, it slows down to the point where the starter dogs will try to re-engage and if the cord is already at rest it will try to yank the cord down into the starter housing and whatever the weakest link is will bust first, be it the rope, starter housing, or the pawls. If you pull out the rope about 6 to 10 inches before shutting if off your hand will provide a little cushion and allow the rope to be pulled back into the case but not far enough to do any harm. Next time you are running a saw give it a shot and itll all make sense

When you shut down a saw with.the cord pulled out some it pulls the rope back in some when it stops bc the centrifugal force cant hold the dogs out anymore, now consider shuttin one down without pullin it out some, the saw still tries to pull the rope in but it cant bc its all the way in already. So it jerks ont the stationary rope it can break the dogs or the rope or both.

Is that the one from Pennsylvania (I think) on Craigslist?

 

[astnmacgto]

Dallas

 

[Kensie1988]

Dallas

I know which one your talking about, the only reason it shows in Texas is because of "Texas chainsaw massacre" if you look and the "Located in" it says Virginia (not Pennsylvania, I was close).

At least that's how I'm seeing it, but I don't do Craigslist much so I might be wrong lol.

 

[Boomer 87]

I think your right now i see the rest

So the guy I bought that Dayton from still hasn't shipped it yet.

I'm starting to wonder if he knows he messed up selling it for only $50 and is trying to figure out how to get out of it.

Was it from eBay? The dude might just be busy, who knows. I would like to give him the benefit of the doubt. But you might be right

Well I always give people the benefit of the doubt. With all the craziness the past two days I can understand that, he has really good reviews. It's just knowing how good a deal I got on it makes me worried I will lose it lol

 

[Kensie1988]

I just got the notification that the Dayton shipped!
