Having trouble starting, sometimes does start, but wont stay running when I pull the trigger.

I'm looking for more info on disassembly of the carb, and possibly how to get into the gas tank.

Is there a filter inside the tank on this model. is there another filter somewhere else, and if so where is it located.

Hi TATS!


Yes their is (should be) a filter in the carb at the end of the fuel line. This filter is also wieghted to act as a "Clunk" inside the tank so as to follow the fuel when the saw is inverted or turned on its side.


As far as dissambly of the carb its fairly straight forward and can be easily accomplished by someone with basic mechanical know how.

It sounds like a fairly simple carb blockage which can sometimes be remedied by removing each carb needle and shooting the carb with carb cleaner.


This is more of a quick and dirty solution, but sometimes its all that the saw will need.



Let us know how you make out.
