My homelite chain saw bogs down when accelerating. Will this tool help?

sounds like the same problem i was having - take a look at this link: http://www.zamacarb.com/page/tsf_howtoadjustcarb

yes you will be able to open up the set screw a little and that should help.

this is a great saw but it comes with a "too narrow" bar that allows the chain to come off the end of the bar too easily. Keep it tight or change the bar to an after market bar and chain. also you will find that the chain drivers get "dinged" pretty bad which makes the chain drag terrible, to fix that problem take off the small aluminum "ell" bar at the bottom of the saw under the chain.

I don't know the answer to that but I strongly recommended in past against purchase of this tool. The oil supply channel does plug readily and is not possible to keep clean. Because of this, the saw "eats" chains. Makita has not acknowledged or fixed this problem. See other comments on this issue. I have gone back to using my gas driven saw - easy to keep oil flowing with routine cleaning for optimum chain protection.

First I do not have your saw but I feel it should work. The tracks are very similar. My gauge worked great to tune up my Saw Stop. Best of luck.

If you did something to make the compressor blow slower that might help. But I don't know how you'd do that

Not so good for that. I would have to see your saw blade to answer properly but I have my doubts. As for the 4mm chainsaw, the "round file" part is tapered too much and would distort the chain .... to my thinking. I am sure it would help out in a pinch for just one time or so but it is not designed for chain saws.

If you're able to set up a jig for stability and accuracy - I think I would give it a try. It really puts a circular saw to the test though. Safety first!

No. This is for small things like phones, lap tops, lamps and such. Your chain saw would drain it very quickly.

I don't know. I have a Big Boyz Toyz saw and had to adapt because I changed the bar from 10" to 8". They could not help so I searched the net until I located a bar which resembled the original. It works OK for me as I drilled an extra hole to enable me to adjust the slack as the bar is only about 2" in width. I would suggest there are other factors to take into account. I suspect the drive sprocket on my saw is purpose made and could be slightly smaller in diameter than standard. For me it was an experiment that has worked. When the chain stretches, as they do, I will need to get it shortened by one link. Hope this helps with your choice.

I have the same model and have NEVER had that issue, even in thicker wood. Your battery may be going bad. Have it tested at a repair shop our try another battery. Make sure the contacts where the battery connects to the tool are okay and connecting right.

Yes I checked. I have used chainsaws all my life and have made a living with them a few years. It was faulty in length and now I have a nice oily paper weight.

Yes, depending on what blade length you choose. Has plenty of power. Only draw back is that like any reciprocating saw, if the blade hangs up the tool bounces. Slower cut can solve this. Great tool and handy.

I too thought that the gearbox was broken. Turns out the gearbox speed change mechanism sometimes wouldn't engage fully whether pushing or pulling. Make the belts are aligned and the clutch knob is secure first. I found that if I spun the blade pulley slowly by hand while firmly engaging the clutch knob the internal gears would engage and viola! I now had the new speed. In time the gears should wear-in enough that speed changing will become much easier. I also make sure that power is disconnected from the saw before I grab the pulleys. Don't want to damage or lose any fingers.-Bud,

I have the same problem. Wipe out the inside of the bushing, and the outside of the chisel. Seems to help, good luck.

I think the tool would probably be underpowered. It's better with softer woods.

Also, I am using a Dewalt 200 psi compressor, so it gives plenty of push. Try it out on a piece of scrap wood first and see if you are getting the proper depth of staple set. If not you may need to get more PSI. There isn't any adjustment....so this may be your sollution to your problem.
