Not yet. Swapped the distributor out(had a lot of movement on the gear) and installed a new cap and rotor and she didn't want to fire up. Need to check the spark and see what I have now. Least I have my little hatchback going, it just made the trip to Ohio and back, last tank was better at 33.3mpg. The kids weren't as happy riding in the back 3 deep, but those are the type of things that help them to be more thankful when you have more space :).

So do you know what to replace now?

I'm gonna just keep fluffing until it runs, hope to have it going by spring:risas3:.
Honestly it may need a fuel pump, I never diagnosed it except checking the coil when rolling it over and dumping a bit of fuel in the intake. So need to know the pressure and if its sparking at the right time. I'm not to excited about working on it in the cold, may haul it to my buddies sometime?

I would have told the service manager I’m not touching it till it’s clean. Who knows what kind of crap lies in that heap of garbage


Unfortunately, most cars look like that. I have found either people take good care of their cars or they don't. Not much middle ground.

Imagine their house.
We have two 'farm vehicles' on the estate. Basically whatever is a 4X4. And they have loads of crap in them - lamb wool, dog hair, animal food, fencing eggs and wires, feathers, crusty stuff, sticky stuff, oil, fuel, all the tools we need, etc etc. When you open the window, dust flies out of it. Do not get inside if you aren't wearing work clothes.

In other news, I got this thing running...but that's all it's doing. When you hit the trigger it flies to 7200 instantly(so at least I know the porting is good), but it sticks at 7200 and won't budge. I can give it like 1/8 throttle and it will start to rev slower for a bit, then it shoots to 7200RPM. So some sort of ignition issue. I'll try it with the other flywheel tomorrow. I think the coil is bad or too close to the flywheel(it looks super close). Or maybe the coil didn't originally belong to the flywheel on the donor saw. I have a red coil here and the stock coil on the new Makita, but these are usually used with the smaller plug. I ported the cylinder with the BPMR7A in it - the larger saw plug. Gonna ask Andrew some Q's.

First heat cycle, and this crazy thing is idling at sumfin like 2400rpm, like my 288XP! Chugging right along. I have her at 2900 without cutting equipment now. Should idle well with it all attached then.:


ANd I've added a few pics of how I ventilated the top cover. Aside from those holes, the air seems to only enter via the tuning access holes. The holes in the last pic are hidden under the top cover. You can't see them unless the saw is upside down. In total it is 40, 1/8" holes. About 1.8 inches or so of more area for air to flow, and hopefully small enough most saw dust won't get in.
