Probably a carb issue. sounds like it gets gas for a few seconds then no fuel.Saw will start rev then shut off. Repeat. Changed solenoid but didnt change anyth8ng. Could it be wiring harness and is that a difficult job to replace?
It seems to be venting but im not sure how much flow it should allow. I checked many times for any hissing when I cracked the fuel cap but there wasn’t any.Vent ok?
One of those I do not have. What kind of PSI are we talking?Need a pressure/ vacuum tester to be sure. Should not hold vacuum , should hold pressure.
Just take the vent off and see what happens.One of those I do not have. What kind of PSI are we talking?
Might be easier and cheaper to try a new vent.
Like anyone though I don’t want to be on the job when the saw acts up again. Most of my work is remote access. Going back to the truck for a second saw isn’t always an option.
I will try that I have some “in town” work and see how it does. ThanksJust take the vent off and see what happens.
I haven’t ruled it out. But it’s defiantly a problem that gets worse with use. If it’s first start and tree of the day it’s good but then will suddenly go to **** within a couple tanks.I wonder if the wiring harness is going to ground somewhere? It could be pinched also, look at this.
