For some time now I have been having an issue where my 435 is very difficult or impossible to start when it is hot, but only if it has sat for a couple of minutes and has become "heat soaked". It will start back up as long as long as it doesn't sit for any period of time. I have replaced all of the fuel lines, bulb, and even the intake boot. The carburetor has also been completely rebuilt and cleaned. Spark plug is tan as well. Still, the problem persists.
So I decided to purchase a compression tester and ended up getting a reading of just over 115 PSI cold. Does anyone know what the compression should be for my saw when it is cold? Could my compression possibly be dipping low enough when the saw is hot to cause the hard starting issue? I have loss noticed a loss of power in the cut as well. When I rebuilt the carb I removed the muffler s well to inspect the piston, it looked good with no scoring. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
