Someone gave me an older Stihl 025. I replaced the carb on it, fuel filter, air filter and it is running well.
I sharpened the chain (I am still learning to do this, but I've done it "successfully" with a couple other saws I have) (by "successfully" I mean that it cut much better afterwards than before I sharpened them. In other words, I'm a newbie).
When I tested the Stihl 025 on a couple logs I have in the yard, it would cut well (and pull itself into the log) sometimes, but occasionally (3 or 4 time on a 10-inch diameter log) it would seem to not cut at all or very little, like it was just going to try to burn through. Then it would pick up again and cut well. Does anybody know what this might point to?
Thanks for any advice!
