Homelite Chain Saw stalls after a few seconds?
I have a 33cc Homelite chain saw (2 cycle) which starts up with full choke, but stalls when I rev it or go to 1/2 choke or no choke. I took out the spark plug and pulled the crank a few times, and also replaced with a new spark plug. I checked the air filter and tried starting with it off, no luck. It has new gas/oil which is correctly ratio/mixed. Any other suggestions?
2 cycle engines run and idle best on high octane fuels.
Use the highest octane fuel (94 or higher) when mixing.
Regular fuel is 87 octane. Not good for 2 cycle engines.
Most stations have 94 octane fuel.
BP stations have high octane fuel. I've seen some with 97 octane.
Be sure fuel has no added ethenol(alcohol).
