Just an update, in case anyone cares. I put a new fuel filter in, rechecked the carb stack, and put in all new screws for the carb. Put it back together and no change. So I resorted to ignoring the suggested settings and cranked open the H screw. It helped, it seemed to idle a little timidly...

The Chainsaw Lady sent me a 22 in solid nose Windsor that looks great on it. I cleaned the points and got spark. I rebuilt the carb but it seems to be starving for fuel. I bought a new fuel filter to see if that's what's wrong but have yet to install it.

Yeah, I made this post first then realized I didn't put it in the right place. I couldn't figure out how to delete it, so I just copied it to the chainsaw forum.

Hmm that's a good question. I believe I did put it on first but I'll triple check.

Nope, I put it together dry. Although I could have missed a hole when I was blowing things out. In a few days I'll get a new screw to replace the one that broke and blow everything out again and see if that will have any affect.

I just now took it all apart again, checked to make sure I assembled it correctly and sanded down all the flat sides of the carb. All of them were indeed warped. I put it all back together. Before, the fuel line would always have a bubble of air. The carb seems to pull more the fuel now...

Just for convenience I used some 50:1 fuel with a few squirts of 5w20 oil in it to try bring up the oil ratio. I plan on using 32:1. Should be using 32:1 while I trouble shoot?

The metering lever is flush with the floor. I did not pressure test the carb how do I go about doing that? The fuel inlet is metal on mine, everything seemed to fit well. The rebuild kit came with some old instructions, if I remember it instructed 1 turn in on the L needle and 3/4 turn in on...

Alright, so, I cleaned the points and got a spark.... good-for-nothin elec-chickens steering me the wrong way! Put some gas in it and got it to idle for about 10 seconds, it died after pulling the throttle. Tried to start it again, but it would not. While I was trying I saw grayish black gas...

After looking at the many guide bars that have been made from the early 1900s to today. Ive started to wonder about the varying profiles or silhouettes of guide bars. The early ones seem to be much taller, when viewing them mounted on the saw. The radius of the tips were much bigger. Some...

What minor mods do they require?

Oh wow that's very tempting. I sent you an email!

I asked some co-workers of mine to help pull off the flywheel. Once we got it off they started probing it with a multimeter. They seemed to think the points or coil was grounded out somewhere. I wont know for sure until I take a look at it. Well everyone I asked about electronic ignition...

Hello, just created my account. Decided to come down from lurking in the woods to the warm and tidy campfire that is arboristsite. I just recently purchased a nonrunning Homelite C-51 convertable drive for $10. The two main problems with it are it has no spark, and the 20" windsor bar was...
