While I'm waiting for the carburetor kit Curt Bailey is sending me for the 028 WB, I decided to take another crack at the Mac 3200 I gave up on a couple of years ago. BTW, the 028 I'm having starting problems with, besides 155 lbs compression, turns out to have a beautiful fat, consistent spark, all the rubber fuel system parts are sound, and it seems to hold 15 Hg of vacuum indefinitely. So, at this point, I'm putting all my hopes on the carb kit.
About the Mac: It starts, idles, and runs fine, but once it is warmed up and I shut it down, there is no way I can get it to start up again - with or without pumping the primer, with or without choke, half choke; no way. If I let it sit for a couple of hours till it is stone cold, it starts right up again. Anyone have any suggestions as to what I should be looking for? Yes, I know, "a better saw", but I did that already. :greenchainsaw:
Thanks,
Bob
