i've run my refurbed 435 on two occasions and today i had some issues. after sitting for a couple of weeks, i went to cut a bunch of wood and it worked fine for most of the first session but then it got hard to start and would die immediately after i started and set to idle. it was very difficult to start towards the end of my first session but i made it through, loaded the car, and came back. it was a little easier to start on the second session but i didn't run it nearly as long this time so i don't know how it would've been after a period of use. i did refill both oil and gas but can't remember when the issues began. i wanna say before i filled up b/c the stalling made me check my gas level.
the saw cuts great as far as i can tell but the stalling and hard starting concern me. this is only the second time i've used this saw since i purchased it and it's supposedly factory refurbed. i'm gonna take it to work with me and check the air intake and clean it up a bit. anything else stick out as far as what to check while i have it on my bench? thanks!
