Hi,
Have the typical Homeowners collection of 4 stroke cycle and 2 stroke cycle "toys".
On all of them, when I pull the starter ropes, it is "fairly" smooth, with just a slight variation in tension (going thru highs and lows) as I pull.
Trying to get an 8 year old Poulon chain saw working again.
2 stroke cycle unit, of course.There is literally a tremendous variation in the tension as I pull. So hard, on occasion, at some point in the pull stroke, that it is hard to get/pull thru it.
Won't start. Not too surprising, as the pull on the rope that I am able to provide due to this tension variation is not very smooth, or fast.
I imagine there are lots of potential causes, but might anyone suggest what might be a likely one ?
Stuck valve, or...?
Would love to get it going again.
Thanks, Bob
