Must be the week for it!
This will be my 3rd saw from ebay.
First two were a Ok.
This one looked the best of all and...was the worst!
026 Pro
Even has a video of it starting with one pull.
Got it UPS today, eagrly unpacked it.
Cleaned it up pretty good then put some fresh gas and bar oil and pulled her over.....and over...and over!
Started a time or two on full choke, ran for two seconds and died.
Would not restart.
Pulled the plug...soaking wet.
Musta flooded it.
Cleaned plug and pulled and pulled.....and pulled.
Went to Autozone, got a new plug....same thing.
Squirted some mix in the carb and it started and died.
Third time...it ran.
Sluggish to accelerate, picked up a little, stuttered awhile and then went to FULL SCREAM (15,000 tached) and I let off!
HMMMM....Carb adjustments all screwed up...me thinks.
As i'm working on this thing I'm thinking what a P.I.A it is to work on.
The filter cover removal and re-install is best described as "Mickey Mouse".
You really need to remove the top cover to deal with the plug.
I check the compression....160 lbs
Spark is good.
Finally get it fired up again with the top cover, filter cover and air filter removed. (after more squirts of mix.)
Finally get the low set so it idles decent and accellerates Ok.
Try to set the high and it either bumbles along, four stroking badly at about 10,500 , then momentarly about normal (12,500 or so) followed by a suden burst that, if held WOT, will surely blow it to smitherens.
I'm guessing either a junk carb or a bad air leak?
