Addicted to Old Blue Smokin Two Strokes That Sing
I bought a new 4910 at my local dealer on Thanksgiving eve. The next few days (after thanksgiving was over) I started to play with my new toy and break it in . So then the next few weeks i'd cut some firewood, which it did great, and really loved the way it performed. I then pulled the tube out of the muffler and spark screen, and it ran MUCH better. Then after a couple weeks, I pulled the tabs off the carb, since I like to tune them to my liking, and to do so, I had to pull it off. So after I was done, I put it back on, and was able to see the screws. Excited, the next day I went out to cut up some cherry (like always) and it would cut okay, until WOT. At WOT it bogs, chain stops, no work. It kinda got me thinking, "did I lose an o-ring? a gasket? air leak?" So, I pulled the carb back off and there is the intake o-ring still there. So no air leak. I checked the jets, the LO was set to 1-1/4, and the HI was set to 1-3/4 (i like to run a lil rich). Im running Supertech oil, 40:1 mix, pump gas. What could my problem be? I have a new carb coming in the mail, not because im too lazy to look at the current one, this one had longer tuning screws and just a nicer setup in general. It's for a Shindaiwa 501sx, but the Echo 501p and 4910 use the same carb, so it doesn't matter. I have my Pro Mac 10-10 running good so I don't have to worry about not having a chaisnaw (the 10-10 rips btw). Have you guys ever had this problem? If so, what are your thoughts? I don't want to hear "you shoulda got a husky" "you shoulda gotten a stihl".
Side note: The saw has 9 tanks through it, so it's almost woke up.
I really like this Echo, and like to see it cut again in the future
