Sorry team, I have another problem.
Mate gave me his near new MS171. Was working, didn't use it for a month, then when he went to use it again it wouldn't throttle. Pull throttle and it will die and stall.
Being I am now a guru at pulling apart carbs, this is what I did. Inlet needle cleaned etc etc.
New fuel - check
Cleaned the pug - check.
No difference.
Air filter etc is clean as - even without air filter on, same.
Took chain and bar off, same.
Re set the carb adjustment srcews, L - out 3.4 turn, H - out full turn. Same.
Thought it might be the tank breather so I took the cap off the tank and ran it. Same thing.
I will try and get a video up. In breif but, starts easy, just when I pull throttle it dies and stalls eventually.
Most post head towards cleaning the carb... again and again. Its like a diamond in there now.
Ideas?
