Can anyone guess what size chain made this ouch. My own fault for not taking the time to walk a couple blocks to grab my gloves before starting . Trying to not get snobbish but .... was asked to cut some branches at work and it became painful clear chainsaw use/maintenance is of no priority there. No scrench, no file, a chain that could maybe cut warm butter-I may have had a minor internal meltdown . Finally found a file in the shop that I could use and got to sharpening it and 3/4 of the way through sharpening having no handle on the file, I slipped. Good to know I'm getting them sharp though . Went out and tried to cut and the poulan pro 5020 will run 10 seconds and die. Went through this aggravation for about 5 minutes and said screw it lunch time. Snuck home and got my Stihl. They said I could have the wood and may put me on some more clean-up duty. I'm on the clock getting paid to get my firewood ! Also said on a slower or rain day I can fart around trying to get the company saw to run. What would you try?
That’s great that you are getting paid to cut wood on company time. That knuckle wound looks vaguely familiar… It appears to be from a semi-chisel .325” x .063” chain. I agree with Chud , tell them it’s junk & get a different breed of saw. On your way home grab that one out of the dumpster & tinker with it at home.
Probably needs a carb clean, maybe a new fuel line...might doublecheck the tank vent too, but that usually doesn't make it stall after only 10 seconds
