I picked up this saw for free and have divested countless hours of TCL and a few dollars in cleaning it up. I have rebuilt the carb, new fuel line and filter, air filter, impulse line, sparkplug, along with a new bar and chain. I have readjusted the airgap for the mag.
The saw seems like it has great compression, but runs like crap complete with huge flat spots and random stalls. It’s also a major pain to get started. I’m running 89 with Stihl oil. I have looked at the piston through the exhaust port and it looks clean, no scuffing. This morning I started the saw and it was running like it had a misfire. The spark is very weak (orange)
I don’t have a flywheel puller so I have no idea if this thing uses points or an electronic pickup.
My questions:
What should I set the carb screws out to? I have been starting at a turn and half.
Does this saw use points or an electronic pickup?
I noticed the air cleaner cover says Super on it. Short of pulling the cylinder off how can I tell?
The handle wrap is ready for the recycling bin will other 028 handles fit like 028AV etc?
The muffler is kind of ready for the bin also can I use one off another later 028 etc
Does anyone have a source for a cheap flywheel puller?
Is this saw worth putting any more money into or should I give it a burial in the shed?
