Put a chevy emblem on it and it should run better lol
Thats what i tell the guys at out working on fords so they put a chevy horn button on our ford dumpy and it runs good now

What's the history of the saw, specifically what has been done to it recently?
It idles but shuts off when you try to hit the throttle?

 

[AKDoug]

Will it restart after it dies like that? It's a carb issue most likely..

 

[cus_deluxe]

Did it die on its own? if so im guessing you have a short in the wiring somewhere. look for chafed areas of wire or possibly in the kill switch. bypass the kill switch to rule that out.

 

[bikemike]

Fuel lines and carb kit. If bought used it could have been used and stored with ethanol fuel in it. Bet its nothing major

 

[o8f150]

if it is shutting off when you try to throttle on it then the low side is extremely lean for some reason

 

[nyctreeman]

The way it shut off smacks of electrical to me, as if he hit the kill switch.

 

[huskihl]

You can hear it lean out as soon as he blips the throttle. I'd say replace the impulse line, fuel line, and a carb kit as long as you're in there. Definitely lean.

 

[pioneerguy600]

Its actually running lean before he hits the throttle, just the sound from the exhaust tells me that, doesn`t have the heavier fourstroke idle from the start.

Could be a bad switch or wire to being you said new coil too

I listened to it again, I'm not catching anything that sounds like the type of lean out you get with the typical leaky impulse line etc.
I wouldn't replace a coil though until I had checked every wire from end to end.
All you need is a pinch or a crack in the insulation ... and it will leak ... and it will drive you crazy.

"please help before I throw this thing off the roof"

That's what the muzzies do to gays ... are you suggesting the saw is gay?

 

[cus_deluxe]

if anything that rough idle sounds like its rich on L. It sounds to me like instant kill when it revs a bit. id check to see that that coil is tight and has appropriate air gap. then trace wires. quick and easy and free. then start putting parts on it if need be

I didnt understand his post cause i think it had a typo but as my dyslexic mind read it. It looked like he said coil and plugs were changed

There's not enough info here to do any real diagnosis.
We need to know if it restarts after it dies without any trouble.
Need to see the wiring and coil setting.
I say do a compression test and put it on ebay ... some moron will pay $100 more than he paid for it

 

[bikemike]

Ur spark arrestor isnt plugged is it?

Can you get it to do anything else like WOT? I'm thinking fuel issues, but might be something to do with the clutch and clutch drum. I hate figuring out these voodoo problems.

 

[bikemike]

Get a034 av super same saw no emissions

 

[028 super]

I'll take it off your hands, send it to me I love a challenge and I'll pay shipping. Better than throwing it off the roof. Also did you try running it with out the air filter on?
