I was using my PoulanPro yesterday cause I didn't feel like stopping by my house first, and it still isn't running quite right. After a fresh start(either hot or cold) it's boggy pulling the trigger for a couple seconds still it spins up, and then it works fine, and will continue to be fine during that running session. Shut it off, and I get the same behavior again.
When I got the saw, it didn't like to stay running. It would idle more or less fine, then die. I ended up opening the low screw *a lot*; 1.5 turns I think. I'm guessing it's a little rich now, but I thought I'd ask before dicking with the carb again. I'm not really good tuning a saw. I can muddle through highspeed adjustment. I typically make it rich, then slowly back it off during use over a few sessions. My goal is longevity over peak performance. The low speed screw is more of a mystery to me.
That saw kinda sucks. I got it to keep at the office cause it was cheap($75 NIB from a pawnshop) to replace my ms362 that got stolen . Ya get what you pay for. It's certainly worth $75, but it leaves a lot to be desired. They managed to make a plastic saw feel even cheaper than average, mushy av, and poor tuning out of the box. I'm guessing the tuning can be fixed, but maybe not?
