Hi guys! I have a 6yr old Ryobi saw that is giving me some trouble. I don't remember which model it is but it is a Red Max saw with Ryobi plastic on it. During the early summer it ran great. I tuned it up, put a new bar and chain on it and it worked like brand new. I put it away until I cleaned up the snowstorm damage early November.....
It ran like crap but got the job done then. It didn't run well until it was warmed up and even then it didn't want to take a big load, I had to cut slowly. If I got to aggressive it would just bog.
I took it out last weekend and I barely got it to start. Once it did start it would bog and die with little throttle. I had to feather the throttle just to get the RPM's up there. Even then, give it some gas and it would just want to bog and die. I drained the gas, put a new plug in......still no luck. My first thought was that the gas went bad but other tools with the same gas are running fine.
I'm illiterate when it comes to 2-stroke, anyone have some suggestions? I was planning on using it this weekend but as it stands now, its useless.
