I had just a few minutes last night to fiddle with this new to me saw.
removed muffler, piston and jug are shiny clean, look to be in great shape.
saw starts easily, and will rev with some feathering of the throttle.
doesnt want to idle though.
Ive been searching and reading here.
possibly a leaky crank seal, or Id guess the idle fuel circuit of the carb might be clogged up.
can I richen the low speed jet to say.. 3 turns out and see if that makes a difference?
trying to diagnose without a leakdown test.
any other things that might make a saw not want to idle?
