Throttle rod dropping out and sticking while the saw is upside down and under load.
There is a little bit of adjustment in there...maybe 1/8 or 1/4" between where the trigger is at idle and when it starts to push the rod. You might be able to straighten that linkage a little bit and still get it to idle. And maybe replace the a/v mounts
Just out of curiosity. Mine does it when a pinch is trying to happen. I’d be curious if this is doing the perzact same thing. Doesn’t take a full on pinch to make it happen. Since you mentioned it does it when it had a rope tied to it.
Not sure on the pinching.
That’s what makes me think. I’m not talking jerking snatching type pinch. It’s when a cut is closing and it’s time to pull out so to speak. Wouldn’t be a tremendous difference than the rope pulling up on it. Maybe maybe not. I’m certainly interested. For the same reason I can’t make my saw “tell”.
I’ve got the saw in a bench vise. I tried pulling and twisting every which way but loose but can’t get the plunger to drop off the side of the trigger like he states
Rear handle saws don't last to long being tied to the rear handle. Tie it off of the wrap bar for long term use.
There’s absolutely no reasoning with this guy.
Lmao yep best to send him on down the road.
You have no idea!
Oh man sounds like a real pita.
Understatement
