Hey Guys,
Earlier this summer I picked up an 041 AV from a buddy less bar and chain. It would start and run on the second pull. I put it away for a month and last week when my uncle was over i took it out to show him and I couldn't get it started. After he left i fiddled with it a bit and got it to start. It seemed to run fine. Today i tried to get it to start and didn't have any luck. I pulled the plug and there seemed to be a lot of oil on it. I decided to pull it over a couple times without the plug thinking it was flooded. On the second pull it locked tight. I removed the recoil cover and put a ratchet on the flywheel nut and then it moved.
It seems like there's one spot where it feels like it's catching. From as much oil that was on the plug and in the cylinder i wouldn't think it would have seized from lack of lubrication. I had the proper mix ratio along with a cap of marvel mystery oil in the fuel tank
Any ideas as to what could be wrong? is the saw junk?
Thanks,
TF
