Quit talking and start tuning. Mine can hit 15k also, I just don't care to blow it up quite yet.

I worked on my stihl 08s and my flywheel puller just bent my bolts. I then worked on two top handle Poulans. One runs on gas in the carburetor but won't pull from the tank, after replacing the fuel line and cleaning the carburetor. The other one I didn't do anything to because everything looked good. It won't idle and bogs down when I press the trigger.

Don't we all? I know if I didn't I wouldn't be on here.

I think when I get back the Poulan 3416's and the 2300 are all going in the trash :/. They are taking up space and in tired of them sitting around. Maybe I'll keep a few buts and bolts we wills ee

I also have a saw that hits 15k, and it's not even a Stihl!

Is it supposed to?

 

[s sidewall]

No, if it is blowing a lot out then the reed valve is not seating flush.

My oldest red 2300av started doing it, pulled handle assm and found reed not setting. Took reed off and flexed it til I got it flat again, fixed my problem and started running correctly. Have found a small wood chip in one keeping it open. Guy ran it without and air filter, not smart on these saws.
