Could you help?

Is it possible it just needs a retune since its run in from your dad using it?

 

Our 171 (small saw for by the chipper) was the same after a month or so!

how often do you have to do that :001_tt2:

 

Brilliant!

Had the same with our ms181.. Eventually took it in somewhere and they fitted a "carb kit" and re tuned was fine got it out yesterday and same again but this time fine when you increase revs slowly and hold it at full chat for about 2 minutes. Strange.

Miker its taken me a day to get that ! Not often I have a serious head on ...Doh !

Most faults are fuel related, a long clean in an ultrasonic cleaner may help. Other than that, split fuel line, new carb kit, adjust the mixture screw(think there is only one).

 

It may be your flywheel coil gap is a bit large, this can affect saws when hot. Reset using a piece on thin card, a business card is typical or something slightly thinner.

Don't use one of these cards though.
