1st, when the saw is cold (meaning setting for a day or so), the cord pulls extremely hard and the owner said it didn't always do this years ago. I've experienced this and it is ridiculous, not just compression.
2nd, after using the saw under normal conditions, it has to set 1/2 an hour before it will restart. This has been going on a few years, so I doubt it's a coil issue. Were these prone to vapor lock? I've had him open the fuel cap and it doesn't help.
The saw is probably 20 years old, original owner, and it's never had a carb kit, rings, seals, or anything major repaired, the factory cylinder has never been off.
I'm going to have him check to see if the rope is doubling in the pulley.
He'd like to rebuild it, (seals, ring, bearings, carb kit, fuel line & filter), but I hate to put the money and time in it until we figure out these issues.
