    This is the saw you just got? No?
    Did you retune for your elevation?


    Do you have a vacuum/pressure tester?

    It sounds like it seized up. Usually they free up and have almost no compression when that happens.

    It's locked up almost solid. Didn't mess with it, I was at the point of blurry seeing. Got home this AM at around 3, got up at 5 and worked all day.

    That sucks Nate, maybe something got mixed up and you ended up with diesel fuel or something in the saw IDK taking a wild guess

    We have a dispenser for saw gas. Been running 4 or 5 other says on that same gas. I thought the same thing too since one of the hired hands was running it, but it was mixed gas in it.

    Based on your other thread(s) it sounds like it's been running lean for a while.

    I just got the saw and tuned it when i got it.
    Had a low speed bog when cold which is why I pulled apart the carb. Ran great after that, put maybe 1/2 a tank through it over the weekend.
