Any ideas of why a 250 kicks when you pull the starter rope???--- If it sets a couple months, it won't even try to start.--just tries to jerk the rope out of your hands.--hard on fingers! lol!! Prime carb, it rolls over likes it is starting then dies.--won't even fire after that.
Saw has been a problem to former owner who gave it to me because he couldn't do anything with it.--He bought it new and could only use it if I went over and started it for him.--Got him to take it back to the dealer and they wouldn't try to fix the problem!
Last year he tossed it into my truck and said IF you can get it to run, it's yours.--after replacing the fuel lines I did get it running, NOT real good but it sure would cut! ran it hard and got tired out and shut it off.--half hour later I wanted to cut some more brush and it would not attempt to fire, just try to tear your fingers off.--wanted to set carb, but they had it blocked and I gave up on it and got the homelite sxlao out and finished the job.
My wife found a "will fit" carb from china, ( original was stihl,zama,china) on it so figured why not try.--put new carb onand set it with plain ole screwdriver and primed carb, FINALLY got it to start, set needles and cut a bit.--shut it off went back half hour later and second pull, it wanted more wood!
Good saw, but this starting thing is kinda rough on and old man!! LOL!!!! --any ideas??? thanks; sonny580
