My son and I got our 371xp out this morning to cut firewood in preparation for winter and it started acting funny, acting like it was running out of fuel. Grabbed another saw to cut with. So far I checked the tank vent (all good) fuel filter (all good) I'm wondering if it sat long enough this summer for the carb to get gummy or something because it's not really acting like it wants to take adjusting to well

So I got started ..sifting through this box of stuff I barely remember lol !
Got some stuff scrubbed up.
It's clear I'm gonna have to clear my other hobbies off before I go further !!
I like to restore old hand tools back to functioning order...but I've got all winter for that !

New gaskets too? Sometimes the carb is just plain no good.
Idk bud. I've two other saws i can swap carbs from but I'll have to wait until I get time. Ran fine last time I used it. The way it goes from idle to maybe another 1500 rpm seems like it may have an airleak.

Redneck case fix worked. :eek:
I want to think everyone that helped me learn this redneck trick in the chainsaw repair group. :cool:

I upgraded him to a 325 rim set up while I was replacing the parts that was tore up.

Hey B.B.B.
My firewood log delivery guy mentioned that he owns a 181SE and that she is acting up.
He asked me to help him get her running properly.
Do You mind if I utilize Your knowledge in troubleshooting the issue once I get my hands on her?

Sure.
But is just another saw.
I acquired this without its history.
This one wont tune, figure its got a air leak somewhere, winter is coming.
Probably bad seals, as its a 30+ year old saw.
I have a few saws that I put aside for winter projects.

044 got smashed by a tree today. Wants it rebuilt. I'm sure I can find the parts but it ain't gonna be cheap. Looks like the crank got pushed to the side. Pretty sure that bearings not supposed to be sticking out of the case that far. Anyone wanna practice welding on this crankcase half and maybe save it??

Shaun's good at fixing them but that might be a stretch, even for him.
