Default Re: Chainsaw masacre

The engine is made for poulan i have no idea who actually manufactured it. My guess would be someone in china.

I think it is the automatic choke mechanism. They call their first step setting the fast idle... At that point the massive air intake is closed. When you throttle up it gradually opens.

A chain saw is under a great deal of stress when it is cutting so it might be just to lean it out and make it more efficient. When I get back to the darn thing I will know more since I haven't ridden it with the 31cc carb yet. When I do I'll know more.

I just have tooo many projects half finished. I am going to finish the mtb front wheel drive 31cc before I do anything else. Then I think the chainsaw bike is next.

It's time to wrap us this building frenzy and move on to something else.
