Ok guys I picked up a 281 xp today and it's in great shape cosmetically. However i can't get it to start, it will fire and run but then die like it's running out of fuel.
A little history on the saw, I bought this from a dealer. They had the cylinder off and put a second gasket in it because it had "too much compression" for shame.
. I was told it's in perfect shape inside. And also it has a new needle In the carb, but no new kit. Also they replaced the fuel line but because of the molded fuel line that it came with wasn't available they used a grommet. I don't see why it wouldnt work, bit it's worth mentioning.
I've also heard these saws have governors. I have never had one of these any help is welcome.
