Question

Concrete Saw Question


I just got one of those gas engine powered 14" concrete saws. I was wondering when it idles should the blade spin? Or is it like a chainsaw and stops at a idle?

The blade should not spin when idling.

Well fudge, mine does idle fast so maybe if I can adjust it that will fix my problem.

The clutch is RPM based, slow the idle down and the clutch will release.
