Long story short, bought a 572 on ebay and turned out to be trash. According to sales description starts but dies in a few seconds. This saw had seen some serious hours and neglect you would not believe. The case was split in 3 parts but the saw had still been in use after this.
Should have put in in the trash bin but pride would not let me. So far im 700usd in the saw after a new case with crank, piston and whole heap of other parts. Everything has been cleaned, checked etc,new spark plug and fuel filter.
The saw will start easily with the choke on,it will run for a few secs and die. Sometimes it will run nice for a while, like idle without feathering and respond to throttle nicely,but eventually it will die.After it dies it usually needs choke to get it fired up again, even when hot.
Tested the carb ,it doesnt seem to pop off,tried it all the way to 30psi,it will keep pressure.It will also keep vacuum on the return hose.Decomp is plugged.
Anyone got any tips?Seems like a fueling issue.How long does the autotune take to adjust?I dont have a chain for it yet could this affect the autotune process?It seems to run fine at wot,issues are with idle.Its going to the dealer tomorrow for a reset and check for codes.Once its running it will be sold and replaced by a 372,had enough of these gizmo saws.Does echo make big 70cc saws without gimmicks?
