Hi Guys,
I have just been working on the old Mac chainsaw I have and would you believe, have managed to get it running well - it seems
I had been using regular gas in it last year and haven't run it for a year. I dumped out the old gas and mixed up some premium gas, 2stroke oil at 1:40 ratio and put in some fuel injector cleaner (for gas engines) with the idea of cleaning out the carb, fuel tank and fuel lines etc.
Took a bit of starting but finally ran and smoked like a pig and then slowly the light blue smoke disappeared and it started running clear. Hmmmmm - certainly seems the premium gas is making a difference with the other stuff - had run regular gas before (am new to chainsaws). It certainly sounds better, more responsive , idles better. It sure seems like the injector cleaner is doing it's job
- just hope it doesn't negate the benifit of the 2 stroke oil
I just need to clean the saw and sharpen the chain and I should then be in business.
I would like to try and find a manual for this saw as it seems to be running very well and starts on 1st pull when warm and would be worth keeping it running properly.
Model number is : 600 13427
Serial number is : 11010 ***
I would like to also know what the engine size is 42cc, 55cc ???
Thanks in advance for any help and info.
Cheers
Jim
