AnswerMr Lambert
I need to ask you a couple questions.
1-Has the chainsaw been recently rebuilt? Or did it suddenly just become this way?
2-Are you confident of the gas/oil mixture? (could it be too high or double mixed?)
3-If the saw just started this problem, was there any preceeding event like:
Got dropped-
Got loaned out-
Been in storage for a long time-
I am concerned that the saw motor is binding somehow, an increase in compression would only occur if it somehow got filled with excess oil. Lemme know and we'll go further ok?
