So I have this largish maple to drop law week. Seems like a good enough excuse to run the 046. After a couple minutes warm up, I make a nice face cut. Everything's good, perfect weather, saw running strong as could be asked. Walk around the tree, give the trigger a squeeze, nothing. It doesn't rev, it just kinda fell on its face. I was puzzled, but also kinda freakin out. Here I am with a big notch in an already dead maple that's shedding some bark, so less than ideally stable. No worries, I brought the Timberwolf just in case. Got it down, and my brother grabs my trusty cs-4400 and starts limbing the small end. A few minutes in it too refuses to rev.
Go back a few days, we had all kinds of flash flooding throughout the area. Inches of rain in hours. My walk behind mower got contaminated with bad gas. After tipping it off, it barely made I off the trailer before it started running rough then died. Drained the bowl, and sure enough, cloudy **** came out. Changed the fuel filter, drained the bowl some more and back into action. Next day, mower started fine, ran ok for three jobs, then kaput. Wouldn't idle, kept surging up and down.
When the first saw went down, I was too flummoxed to think clearly. I was a bit freaked about a saw petering out with a big notch out of a dead tree in a suburban front yard. When the second saw quit, it dawned on me that the mix was likely bad too. To top that off, the truck ran like **** on the way home. Man what a mess. Guess I'll be cleaning carbs for a while... And buying all my gas from one source going forward.
