[Paul Smith]

Did you get it local or from Justin where I got mine?

i'll take it into a dealer. i dont think its the clutch or the bar nose

 

But if the engine is running and revving well - there isn't too much left between the crank shaft and the spinning chain ........... sprocket bearing, clutch drum, clutch shoes/springs, chain, chain to bar friction, nose sprocket......thats about it unless the symptoms are misleading:confused1:

The engine isn't revving well, it's labouring

Had a go with one the other day, feel like the clutch is sluggish, not enough weight in the weights or perhaps the springs are too hard. I will be sticking with the old stuff.

Right - take the bar and chain off, put the side cover back on so it doesn't catch the sprocket and in case the clutch comes loose and start up the saw and see if the engine is sluggish and boggy. If it is sluggish on pickup then it is probably the L screw is a bit lean - this causes the drop and eventual pick up in saws especially when cold - the 345, 346, 350 Huskys do it when cold but for seconds only.

 

If the saw revs up fine without the bar but is sluggish with the bar then it may be what I said before.

 

It is under dealer warranty - let them sort it, from what I have heard, FR Jones are a good agent!

 

Hope this isn't a sign of the American EPA laws impacting on our UK saws:thumbdown:

Thanks! I'm guessing you were trained as a saw technician cos I know you didn't learn all you know in cs30! Either way I appreciate all the advice you give mate.

 

Any chance you can pm me your contact details, cos ive seen on here that you do servicing and would be interested in someone for out of warranty equipment. Also I know this is off topic but do you only touch saws or would you look at hedge cutters and blowers etc... (basicallyany 2 stroke equipment)? Thanks sam

Just bung some Aspen in it and run it indoors:001_rolleyes:

 

And for those who don't know better - I AM JOKING:lol:

 

Fortunately I service my neighbours saws so I get an easy ride!

Not even I would dare do that, although I have been known to start up the 076 at around midnight - the neighbours don't care but the wrens which nest in my shed do.
