This being my first post, try to take it easy on me.
I was given an old 034AV EQ by a guy who told me it was "shot." He said there was something majorly wrong with it, so I figured it might be interesting to take it apart...cause that's how I am...
What I've found so far is that the plastic oiler gear was stripped and the oiler piston was gunked up, but that's about it! It was missing the clutch drum, so after about $75 in parts it runs and oils again. I put a used rim drive drum and bar and chain on it and have been cleaning all the gunk out. Bought a carb rebuild kit today so hopefully it will run even better.
I'll post a couple pics if anyone seems interested.
One question I have is about the Zama carb. It has two tiny holes on the engine side of the venturi and I haven't figured out if I need to clean them or what the are for. I'm guessing they are idle jets?
Cool site here, glad I found it.
