I traded for this 056 AV last year and have run it a lot cutting large diameter firewood. It came from a local arborist who told me that it would cut fine for 1 tank of gas but when you refueled it, it would not restart until it had cooled. He had tried for some time to find another ignition module for it and never could. His description was accurate, it is good for one tank then it needs to cool. I just found another ignition module a couple of weeks ago, but haven't got it installed as yet. That module is also included (see pics). The saw pulls a 25 chain like it wasn't even there. Very, very strong saw. Starts very easy. Has got 2 different sizes of felling dogs. That's the way it came to me, and I just left that way. There is a chip out of the upper handle molding (see pics), but it does not affect the operation of the saw. This 056 has got a good working chainbrake. Has 8 tooth, 3/8" rim sprocket. I'm asking $325 + shipping. PHO. PM me if interested.
Did you try cleaning the vent in the gas cap? I have one of these saws and took a while to figure out it was not venting.
Dont think a vent would do that would it? After all when you refueled it you would vent the tank and get rid of any pressure.
Actually, the 056 ain't terrible for its era in that department. You thinking about one of these Adam? They are a good machine for big wood. We have one at the golf course and every once in awhile I drag it out and blow the bugs outta the muffler. Not an all day saw for most however.
Yeah, I might be interested. Certainly not out of the realm of possibility. Wonder if my 25" for the 034 would fit it.
I've logged with one of these saws for awhile and it's a great saw. After I bought a 288xp from my grams uncle it doesn't get run as much but I could go start it now and cut all day without worries.
