Echo String Trimmer?
Looks like a broken foredom flex shaft cable. I may of seen a couple just like it before.Echo String Trimmer?
So fired up the 390 today and the thing ran backwards....lol wanna guess what my problem was?
Lol close, it was advanced a small amount. I retarded the timing back to stock and still same issue. So then I scratched my head and thought hmmm what else did I change from before? It didn’t do it before.....Hehe... I’ve started a moped in reverse and drove it around. But never a saw...
Trying to think how that would happen... recoil only pulls one way, so it had to kick back and fire...
Flywheel slipped?

It was the coil. It was bad internally. Fooled me real good I even thought it had a bad air leak because it wouldn’t tune. I swapped it to another coil and saw wouldn’t fire LOL. I was pissed. I threw on the old limited coil and she runs like a swiss watch now.
I’ve never had this happen to me before. Has it happened to anyone else? Doesn’t seem like a common issue.
It hasn’t happened on a saw for me yet... but I think it’s super cool! Don’t toss that coil...
I want to run a chain backwards!!!!
