When you do get a carb for it replace the fuel filter
Yes, I completely agree about waiting on the piston. I was just mentioning that after I tried everything else, mine turned out to be the piston and none of the tests I did pointed me there. I agree to work with carb adjustments first.Also replace the air filter and spark plug (gap it properly). Since it is a new to you saw.
This is like watching a train wreck in progress. Get good air flow in and out. Get good working carb adjusted correctly. Then start expanding to other stuff. Not to jump to buy a piston replacement yet.
Well that is worrying! At least that answers another of my questions, better have a look at finding a replacement now. All mine has is a muffler and a heat shield protecting it from the block. As for oil leak, I definitely believe you there, but that's a tiny issue compared to my current list!
Do a vacuum/pressure check on the saw. . .
Unless the saw is older, I usually save the pressure/vacuum test for last if all else fails to change results. . .
Try checking your seals with a vacuum/pressure test. . .
Finally. If a good thoroughly cleaned carb doesn't entirely fix the problem, it's time to rule out vacuum leak.
You just block off the intake, and the exhaust,Any idea where I can find a good guide to vaccum testing?
