What's the best way to block off the ports?

I just watched a video, you're right, doesn't look too bad. Thanks for the tip on buying 2 sets.

Update, tried richening up the new carb, never could get it to idle. Did a quick clean/ run through on the old carb and installed it, changed the fuel line since one came in the kit and swapped the plug for another just like it, even though the old one looked new. Started on the 4th pull. Let...

All true, it sucks to yank on the rope for more than a few pulls for sure.

Hmm, I used that based on info from others here but I will keep this in mind, thanks.

I looked it over as best I could without removing the gas tank, it looks new, as it should, it basically is. I'm gonna tackle it again tomorrow, didn't feel like it today after cutting in the heat.

Very helpful, thank you.

Will do, thanks again. 👍

I haven't, that's not something I've ever done and don't have the tools. Might be something I need to get.

Thank you, I'll try to richen it up more. I'm willing to get an OEM Stihl carb if it would clear these issues up, may just bite the bullet and do that. I'm aware of the Chinese saw shortcomings. I have a 562xp but some big trees fell on my parents land and I needed something bigger. I don't use...

Quick video of what it's doing.

So I bought a Neotec 066 a while back and it's given me fits. It would never start consistently so I finally just replaced the carb with another cheapo non Stihl carb. This one starts easily but refuses to stay running. Pops on 1 pull on full choke, then starts up on 3-4 pulls at fast idle...

IME an echeck takes about 3 days to clear on the seller's end even though it's already been withdrawn from your account. Not sure why it takes so long.

I took an old paint brush and cut the bristles down to about 1/2 to 3/4 inch (stiffens them up but they're still softish) and use that to wipe all the crud off. Then blow off with compressed air.

No pics?

I would suggest a good marksman.

Wow that sucks, I wouldn't give ya a hundred bucks for a saw in that condition. I could probably do $150 though...

No way I'd go that far into debt for just a part time gig, no matter the profession.

Why didn't you get the big one?
