How to Identify and Fix Common Gardening Problems ?

We provide a variety of viewpoints on how to identify and fix common gardening problems. Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced gardeners :

Check your air filter. A dirty air filter can affect your gas chainsaw`s ability to cut. Issues like low power, poor performance or if the engine`s stalling during cutting could all be signs you need to clean it. Follow the owner manual guidelines for maintenance.

1. Dull chain and or improper lubrication to the bar and chain, sharpen and or clean the bars oil holes. 2. Air filter and fuel filter for restrictions and contamination, clean or replace as needed.

The most common cause of a chainsaw that won`t cut properly is a dull cutting chain. Try sharpening or replacing the chain.

Dirty Carburetor (air+fuel)

If fuel sits in the system for too long, the carburetor (and the engine and fuel lines) can become sticky and clog. Remove the air filter and spray the carburetor with carb cleaner—an aerosolized acetone spray made to remove the gunk.

If the filter becomes clogged, not enough fuel will reach the engine for it to run properly. Because your chainsaw will idle, but dies when it is revved up to full power, it means that the filter is only partially clogged; it will allow enough fuel to the engine to run on idle, but not enough to sustain full throttle.

Cutting tree roots with a chainsaw can save you time. Tree stump grinding: You can rent a chainsaw stump grinder from home improvement stores. It`s always easier to start with a level stump, so a chainsaw or hand saw can be useful here if you`re willing to use one.

If the engine is low on power, it will bog down when you try to accelerate. This could be caused by a number of different issues, including low compression, a bad timing belt, sucking too much air, or even a head gasket leak.

Check the Fuel Flow

The flow of fuel must also remain consistent during operation. If you`re dropping power under load and your air systems are clean, then somewhere gas is leaking from the system. You`ll want to start at the tank, checking the vent hole on the tank to make sure it`s not plugged.
