Yeah, Gardenkit is on the money, verify the way you tested thew saw, try checking a known good saw and compare figures! Was the bore OK, was the plating OK, if seized- was the aluminium transfer removed?

 

The compression on these saws can read a little low but 135psi is more realistic and 145 psi when run in!

 

It may be fuel related, the metering arm being too low have been the problem on the last two in!

 

hi how do you check the metering arm?

I think you had better change your user name if you dont know:blushing::lol:

 

Get a straight edge, lay it across the carb body where the diaphragm usually sits, and the metering arm should be either 0.3mm under it up to being level with it!
