Buddy said dealer told him it was junk and that he'd be better off with a new saw after they had "fixed" it and he returned with same problem. They replaced:
Filter
fuel line
impulse line
rebuilt carb
He said it was bogging down when hot. Seemed hard starting as well. I did vac test and wouldn't hold. Found leaking fw seal and replaced. Seemed to not idle down right and hard cold starting. I had a new 194 so I swapped that out. Still kinda hard starting when cold and after it heats up you have to stay on the throttle to keep it running and you can crank the idle speed all the way in and it will still die (marks no ladle speed difference). Is it possible that it develops a vac leak when hot. Did pull the jug and cleaned carbon and deleted gasket and the intake boot seemed good. Any ideas and where to go now?
