Hi everyone! I am new to the site but I have read a few threads over the last couple weeks regarding 50-60cc chainsaws.
Anywho....., I picked up a new Echo CS 590 yesterday. Yay me!
I got out today and ran it for the first time. The saw runs AWESOME, when it runs.... hence my post here.
So, I am running non-ethanol 90 octane gas mixed @ 50:1 with the echo Red. The saw starts well and runs well for about 20 minutes. After about 20 minutes something weird happens. I don't know exactly how to explain it but the closest thing would be, when I pull the throttle it acts as if the choke is closed and quits. The saw restarts immediately but I can not hit the throttle otherwise it will die.
Todays ambient temp was 15°F. I initially ran the saw as is out of the box. After the first instance of stalling I moved the cold air thingy (?). The problem persisted.
Wondering if anyone has had similar issues?
Thanks in advance,
Travis
