Awesome forum........wish I contributed more than I take from here but my experience is limited. Thanks in advance for advice!
2171 leaks fuel when laid on clutch cover side. New fuel line and it seals well to fuel tank. What else could it be?
Also, I put a new meteor piston kit in this saw........cranks easy, runs good, idles good........but after a good cut it wants to bog and die. I've leaned out the low speed jet a little because it was a bit sluggish on acceleration. Now it accelerates great, but wants to die. Otherwise it runs great.
One last thing that I wonder if it could be causing this: I just switched over to running 100LL since the fuel is so stable. I have run it for years in a 2-stroke atv I have.......it can sit for a couple years and fire right back up. Could this fuel cause jetting problems? I also used the same fuel in my 361 but with no problems.
