    Agree with this 100%. Unfortunately some dealers don’t take the time to check the saws properly. Pressure, vac test etc. They try and throw parts at issues without finding the route cause. I once bought a saw from a dealer for repair as it was supposed to be seized and they were scraping it. Turned out a clutch retainer had snapped and jammed the clutch. It cost me less than £2 to fix.

    Did you blast it with an air gun after soaking it? Yeah they are annoyingly sensitive. They just need really small movements to tune. Sometimes it’s good to go back to the factory settings and start from there. Does help having a tach but these are the factory settings.

    This is exactly what I was going to say. Brake or carb cleaner and an air gun. Good as new.

    I’d have a look at it if you want to send it up. I have a source I can usually get genuine parts at decent prices. But it could just need a clean up and a new piston. Spuds right though it needs checked over properly. I’m pretty booked up with port work but could at least check it over to let you know where your at and what it needs.

    What’s the reason you’re changing them so much? Can you get use of an air gun?

    Hi Doug, I’ve done a couple like that now. The 5 series looks great because of the grey crank case.
