Mine does the same thing and whats happening is the fuel lines are too close to the cylinder and the heat boils the fuel. The air bubbles from the fuel boiling won't let the carb get sufficient fuel. when the boiling stops it will start, always when it cools down. If you will take the top off and look at the lines you will see it and can actually here it boiling. Re routing the lines is tough cause of the way there layed out. A poor design for sure.

Earlier Thursday evening I took three junk 7 foot Doug Fir 2 x 10's with old paint,nail holes/chips/gouges leaning up behind the shed out back and turned them into sturdy shelves for my unfinished project saws.Tired of them cluttering the shop floor.Notice there's room for another 3 or 4,depending on their size.I'm always thinking ahead you see.

Why spend $25 on new wood since this stays in the shop with oil stains,dings & dents etc? Save that money for parts or towards the next project....

 

I couldn't tell if it was the one that was just filed good and not had a lot of other work done.

 

I forgot that part. If I ever get home I'm going to file a few chains for some people.

 

Just filed good..
No extra spicy..
Some are just faster than others.. Even though they shouldn't be..

 

Yes they are. I'm starting to think the filing angles are more important than all the other work.

 

That's interesting. I will never get rid of the saw as it's from my dad and he's gone now. I have enough other saws that are a little more reliable. My 192 has about the same displacement and is lighter.

 

Another future project arrived today - McCulloch 1-50 with original 20" hard nose bar,80cc powerhouse sold from May 1959 to May 1960. Barn find from Platteville,WI.Great compression & spark,needs a bit of tinkering with carburetor or perhaps a carb rebuild to run properly.Starts/runs on a prime now.

Some differences between this & other models of the 1-xx 80cc series of saws sold between 1958 & 1964 or so.Some were direct drive like this one,some had gear drive which had less RPM's but much more torque,some had half wrap handlebar,some had full wrap like this one.Also the oil tank on this is in front,some other saws it was on top.Good thing is lots of these parts are interchangeable,which makes it much easier when looking for New Old Stock or good used parts for restoration or rebuild.

Here's my family portrait.

Top left- a Dolmar I thought I'd try out as a climbing saw. Below that another Dolmar someone gave me as partial payment for a job.
Below that are an 009and 4 200T's.
Top right is a 191, an 046 that I ran over with an F700, an older 041, a 440 and a 660.

 

New to me stihls

 

I had an 084 about 20 years ago. As soon as I would turn it on it's side to start a notch it would start spittin and sputtering. Nothing I did could ever correct it. Finally gave up and sold it cheap.

 

are you going to be keeping both the 088 and 084 or is the 088 going up for sale/trade ?

 

Looks like an earthquake
