Customer Reviews for VEVOR 58CC 50.8 cm Gasoline Chainsaw Gas Powered Wood Cutting Engine Gas Chain Saw

When I saq the price i thought im going to use it only once, but to my surprise it really works great, and I already chopped 2 full trees within, it might use more than usual petrol but it works good.

So far - a nice bit of kit, especially considering the price v branded chainsaws. I have though adjusted mine (tuned the carburettor). Initially it was very hard to start, flooded easily and smoked excessively - I ran it in gently for a while, but you could tell it was running way too rich, & "4-stroking" very early in the rev range which was making the saw underperformed & show it in a poor light. Some research & purchase of a "Pacman" tool to adjust 2 of the 3 tuning adjusters (& a sharpening file as the one supplied is a tacky ornament ), and 10-minutes of fettling.... and it's so much better, and feels like a different beast. The engine runs much more crisply & zingy, it smokes way less, and rev pick up is immediate. Cold starting is vastly improved as well. Mine was a decent base, spoiled by poor setup out of the box - but it's easy to address. I've not had opportunity to cut down the Ash die-back tree task I bought it for yet, but cutting logs etc it's worked nicely since adjusted. For the money & a bit of tlc, I'm extremely happy with it.

Bought a few weeks ago. Initial start took quite a few pulls, as it seems to if it's stood idle for a week or 2.... but to be fair that might be as its not fully run in yet plus I might not have fully sussed the best start technique (I think choke out, 2 or 3 pulls with ignition off to prime, then ignition on & pull till fires briefly, then choke in and pull to start - don't "snatch" on the pull cord, take up the slack and a steady even pull). Once running it's pretty loud (I wear the supplied in-ear plugs which are pretty good, with ear defenders on top) - it's a chainsaw, never going to be quiet! I've run it gently so far cutting Firewood up to bed it in, & I think it's running better after 3 tanks of fuel. (I wasn't quite sure how to suss out the mix ratio with the supplied mixing bottle, but one bought locally for under 4 Quid sorted that). I've adjusted the chain once, and it looks like I need to tweak it again after using it cutting the rotten end off an old oak roof truss yesterday. So far & especially given the price for a pretty large 58cc, 20" bar chainsaw I'm very happy with it. The task I bought it for (cutting down a smallish Ash tree with Dieback on the boundary hedge I'm yet to tackle - but everything so far indicates that the saw is well up to the job.
