Problems with saw.

[HeatsTwice]

I might have gotten ripped off when I bought this, it doesn't cut well. It was used, maybe I just need to sharpen the blade.

Rookie mistake. Blade is on backwards.

 

[North of 60]

NO, I think it is just upside down.

 

[HeatsTwice]

I was thinking it had to be mod'ed. But how.

 

[MasterMech]

Add 120cc's. Should cut like hell then.

 

[Gary_602z]

That is what you get buying from Craigslist!

Are you right handed? That looks like a left handed model.

 

[firefighterjake]

Filed incorrectly . . . does it kind of curve to one side when sawing through the wood?

 

[HeatsTwice]

Could it be that the hole in the center is too small for my finger? I read someplace that a good mod requires up to three holes - like on a bowling ball.

Prob just needs the carb cleaned and adjusted. That looks like an older model and it has probably set around a while. Some guys swear by sea-foam, so that may be worth a look too.

 

[Flatbedford]

Did you get the battery charger with it?

 

[BrotherBart]

Mine works fine.

 

[firefighterjake]

Should have bought a Stihl and not a cheap Chinese knock off.

 

[firefighterjake]

Problem is probably with the ethanol . . .

 

[Blasket]

Flip it over and check the other side, I bet some one ran it with straight gas! :coolsmile:

 

[HeatsTwice]

I can't find the motor

pinhole crack in the fuel line (happens on many of the older models)

Hey, just like my first saw. Needs 25:1 and none of that Yuppie veggie bar oil. Watch that large tip radius, they kick like a mule.

Is that the new ultra-low emissions MS251?

No - I am sure that it is the new "Woodchuck 2000" from Ronco.

 

[mayhem]

Impulse line's got a crack in it so its not pulling fuel right. Mine was the same way.

 

[Fifelaker]

Loose nut behind the wheel :bug:

 

[ROBERT F]

Have you checked the fuel filter? Probly runs great for a few seconds but then lacks rpm's right?

 

[Gark]

Clogged sluggish oiler. No doubt. Try the blue winter stuff for this cold weather.

Thank you for all the helpful advise.

I have decided to paint to handle black and sell it on craigslist. These things are popular in Ninja Weapons circles.

He didn't seem to care about the blade being on backwards, left/right handed issues or the problems with the fuel/emissions/oiler/engine.

He wasn't interested in cutting wood.

I made money.
