Bought a used 028 av super last year for my son. It started and ran fine for me with light use a year ago. He had a few problems with it running consistently right last year. I took it to a local guy that fixes saws for a friend that has a very large tree business. He said the linkage was in need of adjustment. $50 and saw ran fine the little it got used last year.
My son has not been able to get it running right again this year. I have inspected linkage and it seems correct to me. High and low jet screws are all the way in and then backed out 1 1/4 turn each. The saw starts fine when choke is on and runs at very high rpm with choke on. As soon as choke is flipped off it stalls.
It almost seems as though the off switch is killing it. I even disconnected the little metal end and taped it to see if it was shorting out. That did not help. Carb has been ordered and I am comfortable with that project, but I am doubting it is the problem.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
