i got this Saw in a bunch of saws from a dealer.
Had 120psi compression, pressure and vac were good.
Piston was toasted 270 degrees around
Aside from that, Saw seems nearly new.
Replaced the piston and rings and the soft good in the HD39 carb.
I can get it to start with the choke on but screams straight to the top. Sounds like 14k+ without the bar and chain on. Probably higher.
I’m avoiding that maneuver
I have gotten it to start on fast idle and it’ll run as long as I feather the throttle. Finger off and it dies. So maybe it needs some tuning for the period of it. But I can’t get there without the choke step, which I want to avoid.
It’s not a C version. Well there’s no C on the flywheel cover. And I’ve had someone mention the fuel solenoid.
Any ideas?
