Bought a pioneer/partner 5000 plus little while ago. What a hot rod....I love it.
Had it noodling some oak and some poplar today, man this little saw rips! I know what everyone has been talking about all these years.
Anyway, as the title says, it needs to be held. If you carry it around it will idle indefinitely.
As soon as I set it on the ground, it stops almost instantly.
Here is what I tried so far.
Air/fuel filters are new/clean.Fuel line looks new, can't find anything wrong there.
Inspected the plug wire, wire to the kill switch, coil mounting etc....all looks good to my non-professional eye.
A/V seems soft on this saw,I thought that maybe something was getting pinched .....if so, I can't find it.
Other than this small problem, the saw works as it should, cuts like crazy, revs like crazy, I can turn it upside down idling and it will not stall.
WTF???????????
Only abnormal thing I can see is that the kill switch doesn't seem to act instantly, seems to take a split second to kill the motor.
Any thoughts? Feel free to tell me i'm a dummy.........
