I was running my 2095 today both milling and taking down a 30 inch stump.
The saw would start and not stay running at times and ran fine at others. Eventually I heard a strange sound like marbles inside the saw. After stopping the saw. it became apparent that something had come apart under the pull start cover.
I used a smaller saw to finish taking down the stump, which by about six inches or added a new shape to the top bar on the chain link fence is was not as far as the stumps very top. I talked to the neighbour and told him I would fix the fence and he just laughed and said it had been taken out many times by branches falling from the tree the stump belonged to and said that would be fine for me to fix it next week.
I got home took the side cover off the saw and saw some fins and the places they were missing from. I tipped the saw over and more fins fell out and quite a bit of small plastic fromthe shroud fell out. I also found a cap head hex bolt in there, which I think started the whole thing.
Both bolts that hold in the ignition?? were missing and I think it was only the plastic cover that was holding it in place. It is a little beat up too.
I have till the end of Monday to finish milling the logs and get them off the site before the foundation gets dug and there will be mud everywhere. I had also committed to getting them out of there by then. This is my only milling saw.
Here are pics of the damage. My thoughts are to get two cap head bolts and put the ignition in place, the side cover back on and see if it runs ok.
Thoughts on this course of action and what I need to do longer term to straighten this out.
Thank you
