Hi all, new to this site. I have an older model 026 that has cut many cords, I have always taken great care of it.
I haven't used it in a few years and this summer I dusted it off, and couldn't start it. I found a rotted gas line and changed it and the filter, cleaned then rebuilt the carb and changed the air filter and plug. It starts with ease now, idles fine , has good top rpm but when I put it to wood it has no b@lls, I have to kind of pump the throttle and it will cut but no where near it's old self, I pulled the muffler and the piston / sleeve looked fine. I'm in Long island N.Y. and there are tons and tons of trees down and I could be helping a bunch of folks in my area if I could just get this thing running strong again. any suggestions ? Jim
