Been looking around the site a bit trying to find the right answer to my saw problems. Nice site by the way. From what I have been reading it seems like I have the carb boot problems along with maybe the carb being crap also.
Bought the saw used 2 yrs ago for a smoking deal. Took it home to clean it up before I offered the pawn shop a price on it. Once I had all the sawdust cleaned off , it looked like the saw had cut less then a pick up load of wood. Fresh gas and it fired right up and purred like a kitten. When I went back to the store I asked what they wanted for the saw and the case, he said $100, I didn't even argue , just laid out $100 bill. Used the saw a few times a year cutting a couple of loads of wood and that's it. Always stored it in a heated shop with the gas drained in the fall.
Now this year I take it out for the first time and it was running great, got my load of wood and headed home. Once home it started acting up , it would bog out in the cut, I would have to feather the piss out of it to get it revved up. Once revved up and the stars aligned I could make the cut but start all over again for the next cut.
Left the saw alone for a few hours and went out to try it again, ran good for about 10 minutes and started acting up. It will sit there and idle all day but just won't rev easy. When it was cold it was perfect.
Does this sound like the carb issue or a vent issue. I do have the plastic clamp intake boot. so I assume it is a walbro carb. I had the carb off (never looked for a name) and cleaned it out , did some adjustments and it started but acted up again. I also read about the Zama carb and found a link to Baily's site. Found the carb but it says it is now discontinued.
So if I need a new carb what one do I need and also what other parts do I need. It looks like I have to pull the cylinder to get the carb boot off so a base gasket for sure. I work on 2 stroke sleds all winter so taking this saw apart should be pretty easy just need to know what I have to get and where to get it in Canada or the USA. Canada would be best unless I find better deals in the states. Thanks in advance for the help.
