ok. Last question about my 562xp before I quit and bring it to a shop.
Posted about the saw not starting purge bulb not working except on the side- fuel line had a large hole in the tank at the base.
Got new fuel line, got manual, pulled carb, ran new fuel lines put it back together.
In removing the carb the first time, I bent that little metal clip that goes from the throttle to the spring at the base of the unit. Didn’t realize it bent, put it back together, started and ran, then seemed off, looked in and saw clip had come unhooked. Looked at some pics and realized it had a right angle in it which is why i couldn’t seem to get it right. Straightened it. Attempted to install in place. Couldn’t get it. Pulled carb, installed clip. Put everything back together. In doing that, snapped the little white nipple that goes on the air filter unit to the vent hose.
Posted about that since I can’t seem to figure what the heck that little nipple is called and can’t find it on a parts diagram. Glued the old one back together to hold me over. Put the saw back together and finally cut some wood. Had some massive locust so I ran it WOT for the requisite 4-5 min. Cut like a dream. Carb seems to be settling in.
Here is where I need help:
Sometimes when I take my finger off the trigger the saw doesn’t go to idle immediately, a couple times it slowly increases speed, if I put the nose into a log, lightly it slows right down to a stop. But then if I take out of the log, it starts to spin chain, sometimes racing. Sometimes it idles, acts normal.
So-what is my problem?
Is the clip I installed being bent and then straightened the issue? If it isn’t perfect, is that a problem?
Is the carb still just figuring itself out? Saw was probably running lean for a while as the fuel line was wearing a hole...
In my installations did I miss something? A spring or something?
The only thing I don’t know is whether or not something mechanical is happening with the throttle. I didn’t think to pull the cover and look while I was using.
Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
