So I have been working on an 024 for quite a while now. New piston, then a air leak(my fault), torn key(my fault), new impulse tube and fuel line. So my latest problem deals with starting. I can always get it to start, but it is nothing like my other saws....
When I have it fully choked, I can pull away and never hear a pop. Switch it up to half choke and it takes a few pulls and it will start, but doesn't pull much rpms at all (most of my saws really turn so rpms on half-choke). I blip the throttle to unchoke it and it seems to run fine.
My other saws take a pull or two on full choke, pop. I switch it to half-choke and they light off and rev up really fast. I blip the throttle after a few seconds and let them warm up.
So what could be causing my starting problems? Do most 024s start like this? Do they lack rpms on the half choke position? I replaced the spring that controls the choke rod. The choke lever in the air filter is sealing off well. It has new gas line and impulse tube. Do you think a new diaphragm or carb kit would solve it? Seemed fine when I took it apart.
