VINIFIREWOOD
I only no what I know
So givin the recent DRASTIC change in weather here in the upper midwest, the tree business has come to a stand still. That means time to catch up on a few projects.
So today it started with a Stihl 021. This saw belongs to my local fire dept that I am an active member.
This saw doesn't see much action other than getting started once a month to make sure it runs. So givin the fact it's a smaller saw and sits a lot, the carb gets gummed up easy and the first sign is that it doesn't want to idle on its own. You have to keep playing with the throttle to keep it running. Personal experience has taught me to first try this.
Turn the "L" screw all the way in till it stops. Make sure its seated without being aggressive. Then back it out to factory spec, gives you somewhere to start. Next do the same with the "H" screw.
A fresh tank of gas, tach, and screw driver in hand we head out to the wood pile. After a full tank of gas and a couple very minor adjustments on the carb she is running like a champ.
I first tried this on my 024 a few years back and with that saw too if it sits for any period of time the first thing to act up is the idle. Turn the L screw in till seated and back out and same with the H and she's ready to go.
