New house needed the yard cleaned up, never owned a chainsaw, weekend warrior. I bought the saw above (you re probably shaking you head at me!) but it worked great for what I needed for hours and hours during the summer months.
Now? Nothing but frustration. I can get it started, but it stalls. I use to be able to consistently rev the chain to keep it going, but now that doesn't work either. The air filter is clean, the chain has been changed once. I've used my own gas/oil mix and have drained/refilled. I've adjusted the little screw slightly to try and give it more power when idling, but nothing.
Any next steps advice? The premixed gas/oil is ridiculously priced, but could that be the issue? I've used gas/oil mixes on all of my other equipment and have not had this issue.
