    Hello. I have a problem about it. The saw will fire, but if I add gas, it goes out. I cleaned the carburettor and even the suppressor. What could be the reason for this? Can anyone help?

    Hello,
    If the saw goes out, the candle is wet or dry, working normally at idle?

    I would recommend to clean the exhaust system and in particular the suppressor

    After all, the author clearly wrote that he cleaned the exhaust system (silencer)

    Well, just how I start it starts to walk at high speed and then it gives gas that goes out

    So the problem with fuel, the hoses whole adjustment screws L 1 and 1/4 turn; H 1 and 3/8 set?

    Do you have instructions for sawing?

    You did not answer whether the candle is dry or wet after the engine is "going out". In my opinion, a carburetor for inspection (removal of impurities) and regulation. Also check the purity of the dragon filter in the fuel tank.

    This is the Harder PN 5200 saw. The candle is wet. So what do I have to do ?? clean the gas stove? or maybe someone would do this to me, that I would pay for checking and doing it

    First, replace the spark plug, tighten the carburettor to the cylinder (if the gaskets are full), adjust the adjustment bolts according to the instructions.

    Hello!
    Did you make this saw?

    I wonder what the reason was

    I have exactly the same problem with an identical saw, after adding gas it immediately weakens to zero. The saw is not contaminated because it did not work excessively and occasionally and was cleaned. I did not clean once and then there were oily trash which I removed a few days later. I would bet that something will happen with the clutch, but I don't know how to go about it. I am looking for solutions ready on the forum in people who had the same problem.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around a gasoline saw, specifically a Harder PN 5200, that starts but shuts off when gas is added. Users suggest checking the spark plug, carburetor adjustments, and the fuel system, including the fuel filter and hoses. The author mentions the spark plug is wet, indicating potential fuel delivery issues. Recommendations include cleaning the carburetor, inspecting the exhaust system, and adjusting the carburetor's screws according to the manufacturer's instructions. One user also speculates about possible clutch issues, while others emphasize the importance of ensuring the saw is not contaminated and properly maintained.

FAQ

TL;DR: Harder PN 5200 that starts then dies on throttle? Set L to 1¼ turn and H to 1⅜ turn; "So the problem with fuel." Replace the plug, tighten the carb-to-cylinder, and clean the tank pickup filter before fine-tuning. [Elektroda, Sniezynka, post #17267277]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps owners of 5200‑style chainsaws quickly restore acceleration without guesswork or unnecessary part swaps.

Quick Facts

Why does my chainsaw start then die when I hit the gas?

Your symptoms point to fueling and carb settings. Start from L 1¼ turn and H 1⅜ turn. Check that fuel hoses are whole. Then warm up and fine‑tune L for pickup and H for power under load. "So the problem with fuel." [Elektroda, Sniezynka, post #17267277]

How should I use the spark plug’s condition (wet or dry) to troubleshoot?

Check the plug immediately after it stalls. Use its condition to guide next steps. For wet plugs, service and adjust the carb. For dry plugs, inspect the tank pickup filter and fuel path. Clean debris and retest after each change. [Elektroda, Staszek49, post #17267481]

What baseline L and H screw settings should I start with on a 5200-type saw?

Use L at 1¼ turn out and H at 1⅜ turn out as a baseline. Set both gently to seated, then back out to those counts. Warm the engine, then fine‑tune under load for smooth acceleration and full‑throttle power. [Elektroda, Sniezynka, post #17267277]

I lost my Harder PN 5200 manual—what can I use instead?

Use the linked Greenstar 5200 manual. It was shared as a compatible guide for the same saw under a different importer. Quote: “another importer but saw the same.” It covers control layout and adjustment references you can follow. [Elektroda, Sniezynka, post #17267298]

Quick 3-step: how do I get it running after it stalls on throttle?

  1. Replace the spark plug with a new one.
  2. Tighten the carburetor to the cylinder and confirm gaskets are intact.
  3. Adjust the carb screws according to the instructions and test under load. These steps restore a stable baseline before tuning. [Elektroda, Sniezynka, post #17268057]

Do I need to re-clean the muffler/spark arrestor?

If you already cleaned the suppressor, shift focus to fuel and carburation. The thread confirms the exhaust was cleaned, so repeating it is unlikely to help the throttle stall. Prioritize plug, carb settings, and fuel filter checks. [Elektroda, Sniezynka, post #17267131]

The plug is wet after it stalls—what’s the first move?

Replace the spark plug first. Next, tighten the carb-to-cylinder and ensure gaskets are intact. Then set the carb adjustment screws per the instructions before final tuning. This sequence avoids chasing an ignition or sealing issue mid‑tune. [Elektroda, Sniezynka, post #17268057]

How do I check the tank pickup ("dragon") filter?

Inspect the pickup filter for cleanliness and free flow. If dirty or restricted, clean or replace it and retest. A restricted pickup reduces fuel delivery and can cause stalls when you open the throttle. Address this before carb fine‑tuning. [Elektroda, Staszek49, post #17267481]

It revs high at start, then dies when I squeeze the throttle—what should I adjust?

Set the carb to baseline: L at 1¼ turn, H at 1⅜ turn. Verify that fuel hoses are intact. Then warm up and fine‑tune L for crisp acceleration, and H for maximum power without lean bog. [Elektroda, Sniezynka, post #17267277]

Did others report the same issue on a clean, low-use saw?

Yes. Another user with an identical saw reported immediate power drop to zero on throttle despite low use and cleaning. They suspected the clutch but were seeking fuel‑system solutions on the forum. Their report mirrors your symptoms. [Elektroda, morling1, post #19534896]

Should I suspect the clutch if it dies on throttle?

Focus on fuel delivery and carburetor setup first. The thread guidance points to mixture and fueling, not the clutch, for this symptom. Start with baseline L/H settings and hose checks before considering drive components. [Elektroda, Sniezynka, post #17267277]

Edge case: If carb gaskets are damaged, will tuning fix the stall?

No. Ensure the carb-to-cylinder gaskets are intact before tuning. Replace damaged gaskets, tighten the mounting, then adjust the carb. Air leaks undermine mixture control and lead to persistent stalling despite screw changes. [Elektroda, Sniezynka, post #17268057]
