I am having a rather frustrating time with a pair of chainsaws, one is fairly old and although it works ok, it suffered from a number of 'issues' I managed to iron most of these out and although it won't idle it worked ok for a while and then would lose power and stop even under full throttle. I then broke the brake band so whilst awiting delivery of a replacment decided that I would buy a new one, because it has to be handy to have a spare!
I bought a McCulloch/Husquarvana, bought new fuel, mixed it with new oil, set up the chain tension and fired it up, awesome for about five minutes, then it loses poser and cuts out, it won't restart for 10 minutes or so then I repeat the cycle, five minutes operation and then more waiting!
So I have similar symptoms for both chainsaws, what am I doing wrong?
