A friend gave me a 111 that's been in his basement for close to 20 years. I got the saw to run after new plug gas lines and carb kit that he already had for it . Saw starts on a couple pull and idles well but dies out has soon has it goes into a log need help any ideas ? I'm a saw tinker not a small engine mechanic by any means .

New filter as well? Open the high side jet some more. Could also be worn rings, whats the compression read?
After 20 years of storage that saw will need a carb kit and fuel system tuneup @ a minimum, If it wew me and somebody threw a 111 @ me I would have checked everything and serviced the fuel system to be safe. That is one big saw, if you want to rehome it I would give it a GOOD home, welcome aboard and you get a you suck!!!
Agreed, could be worn. you will get some spitback through the carb, thats one of the reasons I pull the muffler, to look @ the piston and to see if the rings are stuck in their grooves before I even try to start 'em.
Yes new filter and piston looked good saw compression was 175 saw sounds good idling . Going to try adjusting the jets tomorrow my friend said he thought should be about one and a quarter turns out after seating screw I will give it s try unless someone knows something else to try
Do yourself a favor and go through the saw entirely before running it again. I'm talking crank seals, all rubber lines, carb kit, etc. That saw deserves to be done right.
What saw? I don't see no saw. My vision must be bad or it must be a ghost saw...
