Just bought a fairly nice 026 Pro a week ago and got the first opportunity to really run it, and it is actually running pretty good and it feels like it has great compression by drop testing it with the recoil, but the chain is slow to come to a stop. The saw idles fine once the chain comes to a stop. Doesn't die. Never encountered this before.
I did some googling, but basically came up with a clutch that has worn springs or an air leak. The previous owner said he replaced the fuel lines, carb and oil seals, so I'm assuming he means crank seals. I don't have a pressure/vac test kit, but I'm guessing I will need to buy one. The intake boot looks pretty old, but I haven't pulled it out to check it for cracks or tears. I have no manual for this thing, but it looks like I'll have to pull the tank assembly off to get to it?
Any suggestions on where to start so I'm not throwing parts at this thing or wasting my time? Thanks!
