I have a crappy homelite chainsaw that has never run consistently (which is why I think it is crappy). Today I am having the typical problem: The saw starts OK, but to keep it running I have to 'goose' the throttle constantly, alternating between about half throttle and almost full throttle. i can't get the saw to run with any steady throttle setting, not full, not half, and sometimes not even idle. Any ideas how to remedy this problem?
When it occasionally runs well, I think this isn't a bad saw. it is smaller, with a 16 inch bar, but it cuts most of what I scrounge pretty nicely. Not bad for a cheap saw if it would run.
