Hi Byomarimba

Thanks, but I need another chainsaw like a hole in the head haha

Already have the ryobi, 2 ozito arborist saws, mac/talon, victa and rover saw, not to mention vintage solo, poulan and mac saws.

I think you can probably get this one running yourself.

It is doubtful it would have run even if you knew to blip the throttle to get it off fast idle. It would have stumbled and stalled most likely

I had a terrible time getting mine running, literally hours. I thought it was the engine damage but maybe they are all problematic.

Mine has no gasket between the carby and that plastic. the browny rubber seal is the gasket.

That hole is for the pulse line which controls the metering diaphragm vibrations. If its blocked by the wrong gasket then it won't run well at all.

My other money would be on the fuel lines being backward, could you take a photo of the line routing ?

Its easy on this one to get the lines backward - ask me how I know. How many turns are the screws out?

Another thing, pull the muffler and check for both spark arrester clogging and scored piston.
