I aquired this guy on a trade.. with an AS member. The thing is in great mechanical shape. Its got some scratches and dings but who cares! I used it to chop up some smaller pipe I had laying around and well.. It started acting funky..So, i thought.. Hey, Must need a kit. So, I threw a carb kit in her.. no go... Then I figured.. well, I have a carb I can modify to work.. (Stihl 045/056) I had to remove a plug and plug another hole.. and install the fuel elbow into the new hole I drilled in the 045 carb. And well It got all buttoned up and It ran for a good 20 mins.. AND then Itd itermittently work then.. like run 5 mins... then Id fiddle with the carb screws.. and then another 5 mins.. and done again.. So.. I put it down for a while.. Now late last night I decided to try getting this pig going again. I tried and tried. and I couldnt get it to pop. SO i dribbled some mixed fuel down the carb throat. Thing took a few pulls, but it dang near ripped my arm off!!! And not just once! It did it a few times!!!
Now.. the cutoff saw doesnt have a kill switch or the wire for it.. (supposed to..) so I just kill it with the choke. What are my issues?!
All i can think of is a bad coil, sheared key, or something wrong with the ignition making it fire and yank the starter..
Anything youd suggest trying?!
