Well, after about 8 months of playing with it I finally took the 2101XP out for a run today. The chore was to mill a 4x8 out of a downed hemlock. Simple enough but the tricky part was that the beam needed to be 21' in length.
The XP pulled like an ox. Wow! But the bad news is it quite near the end of the last cut - it was idling and pffft! sounded like out of fuel, but I had lots and there's no spark. Good thing a buddy has his 285 waiting in the wings so we could slide it in the mill and finish the cut..
So - it was a trial run to see if this old saw is worth putting back on the road and it definitely is. Once I figure what's wrong and why it quit (and what it needs) I think I'll have a winner.
