I spent most of today outside clearing salmon berry bushes with my kid. I also had another round with the chainsaw, after several hours yesterday and about another hour today I finally appeared to have it dialled in. However although it cut really well it still lacked power in the cut (not as dialled in as I thought) after the first cut it died several pulls later it was running again another cut and it died, would not start, tried everything and it just would not start, thats kinda when I lost it, grabbed the saw and started slammin it into the tree, cussing loudly as I did so, threw it on the ground in disgust and went and found some weeds to pull, needless to say my kid thought it was just a little strange.
About an hour later I tried again and it started on the second pull, only it was not done with me yet, I only cut 5 logs as it would die between each cut, have a feeling that I need a new filter on it, other than that it could be headed to the "free" list on craigslist.
