Got a 55rancher that runs real good but dies at an idle. Did all the easy stuff changed the plug cleaned the air filter. Got any ideas of what i can do
I have a brand new one and after running it for a few minutes, I had to turn mine up around 3/4 too. Now seems to run and idle fine...so far.
Did you just get the 55 or have you had it for awhile ? My 55 wont stay running at spec 2500 rpm , it will at 3200 and chain does not move set at 3200
I just got it. And i have no tach for it so i dont know how fast i have it set but it seems to idle about the same as my ms 261 c
And as far as mine is concerned, I got my 455 about a month ago and haven't gone through one of those cans of gas I got to double the "warranty" (warranty yah right). It idled fine at the dealers, but would stall on idle when I got it home. I just turned the idle up a bit and after cutting down some small trees and cutting them up (very small trees) it idles and runs fine. I'll know for sure later this summer when I get my next load of wood. I just realized you are talking about the 55 Rancher and not the 455. Don't know how similar they are or not, so I will shut up and leave you guys to it.
