Question:
455Rancher AutoTune DOES NOT WORK AT ALTITUDE. This saw has not worked from Day 1. We go to around 9000' and follow all the instructions exactly, use the fancy fuel, etc., etc.,but once started (sometimes starts right away, but sometimes takes many, many tries), as soon as I touch the gas to rev it up, it dies. Every time it fails, we take it back to the dealer, which is at around 6800', and there it works fine. We have left it with them several times, and they have run a couple tankfuls of gas thru it, and tell us it is OK, but, as soon as we go out again to altitude, it does not work. Yesterday I used it at home (6800'), and it worked fine for around half an hour. I took a break, then when I resumed, it started up, but as soon as I touched the gas, it died out. Repeated about 20 times; it never did get running again. It is back in the shop now, but I have totally lost confidence in those people. Meanwhile, I'm cutting with 20-YEAR-OLD STHIL saw that has been working fine at all altitudes. Any ideas?
