Ran rough from the start and then nothing

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2023

Verified Purchase

Put 50:1 pre mix in like the book said. Primed it like the book said. It started but it didn’t want to. Then it was like it wasn’t getting gas. Then it started to warm up and ran. Cut good. But when I backed off it died. Did this 3 times. Let it sit a couple days. Came back and now it won’t start. I’d return it but Amazon Won’t let me. Guess I’ll spend even more money getting this POS fixed. I wanted something that actually worked. Guess I’ll go back to my poulan. It may constantly throw a chain. But it starts up every time.

2+ year old saw upon receipt.

I’m not happy with this purchase. I received my chainsaw on time however, upon receipt the saw was not operational. I brought my saw to a local repair shop and learned that this saw is already almost 3 years old. Because of the age, the carburetor was clogged and the jets were unserviceable. It cost me money to have it fixed.
