Well Got Started Today ,,, Saw Wouldnt start ,,, It would run for about 1 second when i soak the Air Filter in Fuel But then die ... It Did the same thing last year coming out of storage ,,, It was a Fuel line Leak , How Do i keep this from happening Next year ?

Me and the Boy Got 1 Cord off the ground and split and put in my bilco doorway (Steps Removed) so we made some progress on wood i already had cut up , Sunday between football games we will do the other 1/2 cord i have down , then 2 more then im good for the winter

I heat 100 % with wood

Was it a fuel line leak this time, or a gummed up carbeurator?

 

wood? for what? heater? what is that?..... how much wood is in a cord.... i always wandered.....

 

I dont know i got pissed Cause the same damn thing has gotten me twice , I drained the tank and it still happened , I cant work on little things like that next thing i know i got the head apart and piston out Thinking to my Self WOW this is never going to Run Again ...
Im dropping it off Monday PM at my Saw Guy , I love my Saw Jonsered Turbo , But if i dont get it back soon ill be stuck using dads Sthil *Yuck

4' x 4' x 8'

Wood For a Wood Burner For Heat For Me & Mine For Not to freeze To Death

 

If you drained the tank and ran all the gas outta the thing, it shouldn't be a gummed up carb. Did you put gas back in it before tryin to use it? Back when I worked on that kinda stuff, you'd be amazed at how many people brought stuff to us sayin it wouldn't start and you check the petro and there ain't no petro.

 

come on you know there are other ways to keep warm......

 

A cord of wood is 4' x 4' x 8' stacked, yes wood for a stove or furnace.

I heat 100% with wood during the winter I will burn between 5-6 cords a year.

There is no heat like wood heat!

Don't know what to tell you about your saw, I bought a brand new Stihl 390 with a 24" bar last year, excellent saw for firewood, have a 28" bar and it looks like I am going to need it this year.

I also have a Stihl 075 AV about 30 years old that can be a pain, doing a total rebuild on it right now. But when it comes to the big wood there is nothing like it for cutting (I have 32" to 48" bars for that.)

 

Yes i put Fuel in it , And Pulled on it for 30 mins When putting fuel directly into the carb it runs for a second then dies Its not getting any fuel I may try to fix it my self maybe put a pusher pump on it i have a carter on the shelf That will get its Turbo Going ...

I only use about 4 Cords My Stove has a Catalytic Combuster It Reburns The Smoke and gets every last drop of BTU's from the wood Its a nice set up

I prefer Maple , Oak , Cherry , Locus

 

Those little engines are finnicky, there like old gasser chevy's, they run when they wanna, and when they don't wanna, you r SOL
