What happened to the 95?
Not sure yet. It stumbled and died coming back to idle after a long noodle cut. Won't stay idling. I haven't looked at it yet other then to make sure the piston is still clean.
finished up yesterday's work.
All cleaned up. Put me back in the woods ware nature takes care of the mess.
Next project. Old reliable will get it done if I don't get the 2095 going.
I'll get into it tonight. I had to get into town and get that wood done and clean up. Trying to get the smaller stuff in the pile behind the big logs. Keeping it clean when I'm not there is a high priority.
It may have gotten too hot and perhaps now the compression is down. Low compression will make it tough to idle. That's one of the symptoms.
If I said it's as simple as the idle screw in the carb backing out that caused to issue would it surprise either of you?
Cheap fix.
Yes, it would. What caused the idle screw to back out by itself? Sounds like somebody did that with a small screwdriver. Idle screws rarely turn back out and kill the engine all by themselves.
I didn't want to respond to this till I had the chance to run the saw. Its definitely the idle screw backing. Saw runs fine wide open throttle, 4 strokes when you lift and dies when you let off the trigger. Check the screw its backed out. Set where it should be fired up and idles fine till the next time you make a cut with it.
Another member also suggested thread locker. I'm going to try that. I made 3 cuts with it today and after all 3 it had backed out to the flat part of the screw and died when I let off the trigger.
