My project saw came Saturday,Yep sure was happy to see the mail lady. Bought it off Ebay knowing it had spark,compression,and didn't run off prime.
It's a 2065 Jonsered needing a few parts,but was hoping to hear it run first. Cleaned all the crud off and fixed the kill switch. Didn't have the right Zama carb kit so I only took the top off. Found some sawdust inside and cleaned thinking it may run enough to at least know it's a keeper.
Put fresh gas in and after a few pulls on choke,it fired. Will run for a few seconds and pop,then die. Refire,same thing. Won't take much throttle which I'm sure is the carb,but the pop is more prominent and still dies .
Compression 145
muffler clean inside
flywheel looks fine
new spark plug
Hard to think it's the coil,won't run long enough to get warm.The pop sure acts like it's backfiring. Any idea's Thanks, Larry
