Chainsaw Repair

Took the 405/455 out today and cut up a few logs.   All can say is I like it.
Probably to heavy to take to the woods when I am falling trees but for bucking up some logs for the splitter it moves right along.  I did not have a bar to fit this so I have a bunch of these Sandvik bars that have really big slots in them.   So today I made an adapter for it and drilled the oil hole to match.   It takes a 63 DL chain and all I had was 64 so I took one DL out.   Saw works great thanks.

   So last year I had let the saw sit for a little bit with fuel in it and could not get it to start.   So I rebuilt the carb and the saw started and ran fine.   The only issue was when I let it sit and idle it would start to slow down and eventually die.   Or sometimes it would sit and idle then slow down and then when I picked it up suddenly it would die.   

    So today I took the carb back off and brought the lever down for the metering needle about 2 or 3 mm.   Bingo idles great now.   I like this saw because it will noodle through logs like a hot knife thru butter and it never plugs up from chips.   

The 405 / 455 is still going strong.
