Mine does fine except when it leaks fuel somewhere around the carb and floods itself out (not running, sitting in the saw scabbard). Pulling on the cord for a while gets it cleared up. This week I put 8 or so tanks through it. It only flooded itself once, which was yesterday. You know when it's...

Probably a spare saw in the future, there's a limit to how much I want to pile in the truck. If I had to, I could climb with a rear handled saw or borrow one of Scott's top handled saws. My next truck will be a long bed crew cab to help with the room. With the long bed I can have a fuel tank...

The closest dealer is 45 minutes away... I called them and the mouth breather that answered the phone couldn't be of any help because he couldn't find any version of a T540XP in his computer. I paid $30 for Treestuff to pull and overnight a hose. That damn impulse line has cost me 4-5 hours of...

TreeStuff is the dealer, no local dealer. On my last cut of my second tree today, the damn thing came back off. I pulled the line out... turns out the bell end is split. I called TreeStuff, they didn't have any in stock. They pulled one off a saw on the shelf and overnighted it to me...

Yep, that's the vent. Mine doesn't appear to be a formed line and had a kink or nearly so on its second bend. It's ridiculous how loose the line in the above picture was on its barb.

That's not the vent, that's the impulse if I were to guess. The vent is on the other side of the carb and was plugged into the air filter base.

Think I've figured the problem(s) out. I disconnected the tank vent from the air filter base plate to alleviate a kink in the line. I read about a brass nipple backing out of the cylinder on saws made in a 3 week span in April. I checked mine and the nipple was fine, but the hose had hopped...

Like I told the guy at Treestuff, in 5-10 years we will love the efficiency, power, and reliability. Until then we suffer. A bolt on, manual replacement carb for the 540 would be a big seller.

Haha yep! The saw is better, but it's not what I would call right. If it would run right it would be my ideal climbing saw.

Apparently it was a factor kinked fuel tank vent. The line runs from the tank to the bottom of the air filter housing. Running next to properly now, after 2 hours of dicking with it after lunch.

Using the 540 today, it was running like crap on the first tree... Even halfway up the pine (warm saw) it would only start with it choked. Go to lunch, come back and head up an oak... Can't get the blame thing cranked. Come down and it will only idle fully choked and won't run at all off...
