You seem to have more fuel coming into your carburetor then you need. This may be a simple adjustment of your H high and L low adjustment screws. I will be happy to help you more if you need. Good Luck Friend.

SOURCE: Poulan Wood Shark Chainsaw - wood smoking. Is chain on backwards?

I cannot tell you about a picture, but for one: chain direction, the bottom of the bar is where the cutting takes place, and therefore, looking at the chain, you will see, on the bottom, the antikick back link is sort of curved, and then the next part is the straight tooth. The highest part of this straight tooth is the sharp edge, and this high part should face towards the motor. The chain, on the bottom side of the bar, is pulled in towards the motor by the clutch/gear. That is your direction of travel.

As to cleaning the air filter, Hopefully you have access to compressed air, as in simply blowing off the dirt. You do not want to use liquid cleaner. Simply blow off any dirt, after pulling the filter away from the carburetor, of course. Then place it back in place.

It may be that your chain is real dull. The top edge of the high part of the flat tooth needs to be sharp. And the outside corner needs to come to a nice point. Remember, there is two cutting surfaces on each tooth, the top is cutting down into the wood, and also that outside sharp corner is openning the cut for the bar to pass through. Proper sharpening, if new to it, can be hard to grasp. Any chainsaw manual should show how to do a good job.

SOURCE: Chainsaw chain won't move on 16" Homelite bar

Sounds like th clutch brake is engaged. Try Pushing firmly foward on the hand guard in front of the handle. It should click to release the clutch brake.
Let me know if this helps.

SOURCE: printer is bi-polar!

Once you change the drum unit on these machines you must reset the printer. Turn on the machine, open the front cover where the toner is located, press the "option" button on the keyboard. You should see a message on the display that gives you an option to press 1 or 2. Press 1 to change drum. Close the cover and you should be reset.

SOURCE: I can start up the chainsaw, but chain doesn't spin

Is the chain brake on? Pull the lever your knuckles are against toward you to unlock the anti-kickback brake.

SOURCE: my ryobi chainsaw rcs 2040 keeps stopping but

RYOBI----- with the motor running at high revs the chain stops indicates that the sprocket behind the centrifugal clutch is worn out or the centrifugal clutch itself ,or the clutch shoes are worn out the way to tell is to remove the bar and chain and have alook where the chain was conected to the saw, i think you will see the sprocket is buggered and as that is attatched to the clutch drum that will have to be replaced along with clutch springs and shoes, i think you have been running the chain a bit too loose or not running it at realy high revs ,which is what they are designed to do ,cme back to me if you feel the need

How to start ozito petrol chainsaw

1.fill with bar oil an 2stroke petrol

2.put the chainbrake on

3.if there is a primer bubble 5-10 pushs might say next to bubble



4.IF YOUV\'E NEVER STARTED A CHAINSAW PUT IT UPRIGHT ON FLAT GROUND and put you right foot as far in the trigger handle as you can, put enough weight to stop the bar or chain touching dirt, dirt will blunten a chain very quickly



5.grab the top bar with left hand firmly



6.pull out or raise the choke the whole way.

7.switch on the on/off switch



8.make sure your as much weight on your hand an foot holding the saw and pull the cord fast but never the whole way out or else it will snap over time and when it cant come out anymore it will jerk the chainsaw which can make the bar hit dirt and your chain will get blunt!!! or your leg but that wont blunten the saw



9.keep pulling the cord until you hear the engine fire,

Probably 3-5 descent pulls, it just revs a little loader and longer.

when it fires push the choke back in the whole way



10.pull the cord a few more times and it will start up dont pull the trigger till youv\'e taken the chainbrake off, or youll burn out the clutch. dont forget dont let the chain touch dirt a blunt chain makes cutting really hard on you and the saw.



If you know how its worth stopping and sharpening it as soon begins to lose its edge your back will love you for it, and you get more wood cut. But if you dont sharpen evenly and at the right angles it can be as bad as hitting dirt because it wont cut straight and get stuck

Want keep running after several times of starting it

will it continue to run on choke? if it does you have an air leak, if not then you may have a faulty carburetor that isn't stopping the flow of fuel and it is flooding itself out

My Stihl MS280 has to be pulled 8 - 10 times to start and after warming up and finishing a cut, wants to run continously at high rpm. It does NOT have a Hi and Lo screw. Please advise correct repair...

Taking into account that you have corrected any other deficiencies, this unit should have electronic ignition. If you experiencing run time issues, seek an authorized sthil dealer for repair.

Read you manual. you will NEVER have to pull anything 50 times to start it... pull off your muffler (if you filled it with gas) and let it dry out.
