Husqvarna 61
I bought it used a few months ago from the original owner who was selling it to get a saw that started better.
It smoked when I got it and once it had good gas in it that stopped.
It starts easily when cold. Once it has run hard and shut off then it takes multiple pulls and tends to catch but not stay running, sometimes it runs but when throttle is applied bogs and dies. Sometimes it restarts just fine.
If I fill the tank all the way up it doesn't go. If I crack the gas cap it spits out a bit of gas.
Seems to work best when it is no more than 3/4 full.
I have tired tuning the low and high and idle but that has not cleared up the issues.
It runs fine at times and at other times it just catches and won't run and then it will and runs fine till shut off.
Also when the saw is being finicky and I turn it on it's side it will die.
Also it just doesn't seem as crisp as I think it should on the throttle but it has pulled a 36 inch bar in a 30 inch milling cut when my milling saw was down. (I had no idea it would do that) It was still finicky then but not to the degree that it is now.
The saw has 150 compression, piston looked good through the exhaust port.
I really like apart from this. I will be pretty excited once I clear this up.
Thoughts?
