Hi,
I have a seven-year old 025 that has run well until recently. In the very cold (0-25), the saw doesn't want to idle - it cuts out instead. It also has very little power before it warms up (putting it to wood makes it dies). I took it to the dealer who put in a carb kit, replaced the plug and fuel filter, cleaned the exhaust screen. He also said that the cylinder showed signs of pre-ignition (supposedly due to low-octane gas). Symptoms are still the same.
Any thoughts on what might be wrong? I am perfectly willing to fix this myself, but I don't know how to tell what is wrong. Can anyone help? Is it worth fixing this saw?
Thanks in advance,
