Saw wont keep running

[treequip]

or it may well end up being an anchor for the canoe when we go fishing!!

Any further thoughts welcome???

 

Take the bar and chain off, sharp edges may damage the boat, particularly if its inflatable.

The chain would have to be sharp first !!!

Just wanted to say thanks to spud and adw, I bought a can of carb cleaner and took the carb apart again and gave it a good "squirting" once back together it now runs and idles like a good un.

I will now work on the right hand side of the saw cleaning and degunking it , but I envisage no problems.

its a good sense of achievement getting something running again.

Glad it all worked out. Sometimes the petrol evaporates and leaves a thick oil residue especially if an overly rich mix has been used and this can gunk a carb up.

 

All good, hope it gives a bit of service now:thumbup:
