Hi All; The Story.....3 weeks ago this saw would idle but not run up, adjusters not helping due to platic stops. The plastic stops allowed carb adjustments of 1/2 turn only.
After some work I have managed to remove plastic stops on the Walbero 739 carb that came with the echo saw from hd. I did this in order to have better control of the adjusters.
Anyways, as I have recently gotten my stihl 26 going.( carb problems) I figured the echo should be fairly easy to get going also.
After a good cleaning and before putting the carb back into the saw, I checked the # of turns the carb was set to and it came to 2 1/2 turns approx for both H and L.
After the cleaning I could start it and it seemed to want to idle and run up but it shortly bogged out like a no gas situation and died. Once I got the choke set again, 2 pulls and it wanted to go. Well, same as above,, seems to want to run but dies shortly.
Im not sure if I have the L-H set right but cannot seem to find this info. I called Echo repair 1- 800 and their people say bring to a repair depot , sorry, only 30 days warranty on carb adjustments..no further info available except whats on their web site.
Question, Could I use the 1 turn out rule that I use on other saws and adjust from there?
Also, what tool do I need to be sure Im not going over the correct rpm,s for this saw?
Thanks to all....Keith
