That saw is a exercise in frustration. I sent mine packing down the road.

Most rinky dink carb mounting system I have ever seen.

Glad you got yours going though!

most rinking dink recoil setup also..but man,,for a clamshell,,it hauls!! but then,,the 951 oly I just put together..that flat hauls also,,with a MUCH better recoil!!!!!!! :msp_biggrin::msp_biggrin:
 
Hmmm....listen to Mark.....send it packin whilst it still runs.....swap it for a six pac of your favorite beverage....even if that is water you come out ahead.......of course that is just my own opinion....

oh, its going. I like johnnys,,but as mark said,,an exercise in frustration....
