Its easy to look clever if you can google things!

 

( but most of my posts do come from my knowledge)

 

Didn't know the serial number bit:blushing: Knew the change of piston diameter as I had a blown 44mm one a couple of years back and had to fix it!

 

Thanks anyway:thumbup:

What colour was the plug when you pulled it out?

They are at factory setting , and when the saw warm it will fire up ,but if u let her cool down its a night mare ,

You can get poor starting if the fast idle catch isn't holding the throttle open enough - this will make starting a cold saw a right bitch.

 

Easy enough to diagnose, after making the saw pop on the choke, engage the fast idle - usually by pulling the choke out and pushing it in - start the machine and it should rev up pretty fast before you grab the throttle to release it.

 

If it doesn't rev up much, you will need to tweak the carb linkage so it gets held open more - it is possible the L screw is a tad rich and that may make starting an issue.
