Been having problems for awhile with my older 026 pro and just can't seem to figure it out. Was running into problems that lead to a failed carb clean/gaskets replaced before I brought it do the dealer and they fixed (they gave me the wrong kit and I didn't realize it?).
Got the saw back and it ran okay, not great. Idled a little rough, couldn't seem to keep a good idle...ESPECIALLY after it had gotten hot. Would run the raw for a good 10 minutes then have to keep the finger on the throttle to keep the engine running to keep working with it. Now for the hard part...
I ran some straight gas through it on accident
Made the mistake of putting a mix in one tank and straight in another when both are marked as 50:1. Honestly not sure how much I ran through, but some of it at high RPM's. The very recent problems with the saw, when before I KNOW I was running a good mix, made me not notice the straight gas as soon as I would have otherwise :help:.
Dumped out the bad, put in the good and haven't had it running good since. Put in a new carb that I had ordered previously, hoping that would solve the issues -- Nope! Looked at the piston and it looked okay. Currently, will not start unless I put a spritz of starter fluid into the carb. Then it rears high, chain spins, then quickly dies.
Any help appreciated!
