Today i fueled it up and it wouldnt pull fuel through the line. So I primed it and still didnt pull fuel. So i check the line and it felt stiff and had hardened over the last 2 years. So i pulled the line and put new fuel line in it. Primed a couple times more and still didnt pull fuel to the carb. Runs great on prime till fuel is run out of carb, just like it used to. I got cold in the 20 degree so I gave up for today. I'm thinking diaphragm has got stiff or the check valve flap on the other side dia is stuck or maybe the impulse seal to carb. What do you think?

I would have to look for actual numbers on carb. #Post#: 622-------------------------------------------------- Re: Partner 5000 plus By: Snoopy Date: March 6, 2011, 6:05 pm --------------------------------------------------------- i bet the needle valve is stuck. try tapping the carb ;) #Post#: 623-------------------------------------------------- Re: Partner 5000 plus By: Cut4fun Date: March 6, 2011, 6:21 pm --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=Old Iron Logging link=topic=110.msg618#msg618 date=1299454777] What carb is on it? [/quote] I think this saw had come from your way at one time. I noticed the 2 holes like the redmax 5000 in rear handle flat area. Unless Simon Bertrand sold me a 5000 like that too. I'm losing track. #Post#: 624-------------------------------------------------- Re: Partner 5000 plus By: Old Iron Logging Date: March 6, 2011, 6:40 pm --------------------------------------------------------- The one that I sent you had the starter side grenade in the cut. Is this that one? #Post#: 625-------------------------------------------------- Re: Partner 5000 plus By: Cut4fun Date: March 6, 2011, 6:44 pm --------------------------------------------------------- That one that blew the recoil in the cut was stock. But it could be that one still, just woods ported now ;D. I will have to check. #Post#: 626-------------------------------------------------- Re: Partner 5000 plus By: Cut4fun Date: March 6, 2011, 6:46 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Couple of the runners at the time. I think I had 3x that on the shelf when I started selling off.

Think the pump membrane has gone bad or you got the impulse channel clogged or leaking. Membranes often go simultaneously with the fuel lines. #Post#: 635-------------------------------------------------- Re: Partner 5000 plus By: Chainsawrepair Date: March 6, 2011, 7:26 pm --------------------------------------------------------- This is the same saw Al Smith ran at Chardon and NWPA GTG with small oem carb and lesser chain. It was right on the heels of my good 5000 at the gtg, bad start at chardon. ***************************************************** (DIR) Next Page
