Hey all, first post. My father passed recently and I'm going through all of his equipment trying to get everything back up to running.
I'm currently working on an old stihl 024.
I bought some parts for it at a local store, wanting a gas and impulse line, and they actually gave me two gas lines by mistake, one curved and one straight.
I got the straight line in for gas, and cut up the curved one to make an impulse line.
It will start and run a little, but its not holding idle (the idle screw doesn't seem to do anything). I guess I need to rebuild or replace the carb? The one on it says "made in ireland" (the saw says made in Germany). It seems to have good compression, and the piston looks good through the exhaust and intake side.
Should I rebuild it or just buy one of the chinese replacements off ebay?
Thanks for any help!
