Hey chaps.saw keeps spluttering and coughing and shutting off when laid flat cutting on it's side or basically any other way apart from flat.

Any ideas?

Check all the obvious dirty air filter? fuel filter? all else fails might need to be re-tuned. I have to get someone to this I am hopeless at it Best of luck:001_smile:

Cheers woodland glad sombody replied haha.Air filter was caked in crap

havnt had time to turn it over again tho as out the house

would a clogged up airfilter give these symptoms?

I guess on a vehicle it would do so possibly would on a 2stroke chainsaw

I had this a problem with a set of hedge cutters few years ago. Sorry but I,m sure it turned out to be of more serious problem .

[Gollum]

check screwy bit on top of spark plug has not come loose and fuel filter is not caught up in tank

[Yeti]

It's even doing it when flat on workbench now guess it ain't looking good

Carb rebuild?Not expensive if you do it yourself.

[Yeti]

How much roughly at for carb rebuild kit for that raker?

[raker]

About 20 quid maybe a bit less. Just looked on the bay and theres a few.Just need the make and model of carb which should be on the carb body.

 

Should be a zama. A site sponsor may have them also.

Cheers bud.

I accidently ran it out of fuel once hope it hasn't scored the bore

is that somthing I should possibly be thinking bout.

Could the plug gap need tweaking?

a few peope said to me could be diaphragm ?

Ran great when first got it last week

it is a second hand saw
