Hi guys: I ‘ve lurking in the background of your really great forum and I finally got myself registered.
Recently received a MS170 from an elderly neighbor who can no longer use it. Waiting on some parts, but the little saw seems to run pretty well. Question#1: any fix for a chain brake cover that comes off every time the saw is running (should I pop for a new cover) ? Pins are intact but won’t stay put once they’re snapped in.
Question #2 is how does one adjust the low mixture screw if he doesn’t have watchmaker tools? Do I have to remove handles and right side covers to get to the little screw? The saw bogs somewhat when increasing rpms. Thanks ahead of time for any helpful input.
