I didn't see a category for the Super Mini,so I put it in the SEZ family as it's pretty close.I was in my barn today searching for a saw for parts & I spotted my Super Mini that I haven't run in 3 1/2 yrs.I thought I'd pull it out & fire it up.Easier said than done! I tried starting it & it wouldn't start till I primed it.Then it just died abruptly.I ended up changing the plug & it started hard,would idle a bit then die again.Then after I adjusted the carb it ran fairly well & the chain wanted to bind up.I pulled the cover off the bar & chain & didn't find anything wrong except for old oil & sawdust.I put it back together & tried to tighten the chain & it just wouldn't tighten.After several tries I finally flipped the bar over & then it tightened up.Apparently the old hard nose bar adjuster slot was worn to the point that the adjuster pin was just sliding on by.
After I'd gotten the problems straightened out it felt good to hear that little fella singing it's tune.
