New efco 136 running problems

[Big_D]

Hello, just bought myself a little Efco 136, filled her up and she started after a bit of messing around...but the problem is when I press the trigger she bogs down, I have to nurse it up to full speed by bouncing the trigger or pulling a little choke in, once running flat out it will hold full power, it's just getting it there.

There are some adjuster on the side but these don't seem to make much of a difference to the problem.

 

Any ideas? It was supposed to be an unused saw, bought on ebay but whilst it had definitely not seen wood or done any cutting it did have fuel vapour and oil in it when I received it....

 

Thanks

Think it must of been old fuel gone off in the carb, unleaded can do that I heard...some carb cleaner has made the problem much less.

Very capable saw other than that little teething issue, very impressed with it. Lots of grunt for a tiny saw.

Still running sweet after all this time Lovely little saw, been through it's supplied chain and had a new one fitted. Lot of use out of it and it still runs sweet.
