Sounds like a solid recipe to break the carb and burn up the saw, thanks... ? After more research it turns out their are 2 style carburetors on stihl saws / Type A and Type B. I obviously have the B carb with less travel in adjustment screws. 1/4 turn out from seated is what was recommended...

I have removed the rubber cover as this is the only sure way to see your adjustment. Problem is there isn't even a full turn of adjustment from seated to full open so 1 full turn out is not even possible without damage.

Bit the bullet and bought the ms261 / Wow, should have done this sooner. All total it's 3 lbs lighter fully fueled with more power, I now feel like a certified log ninja. After running the 261 for a couple loads of wood it's safe to say the 029 will never see another log with me behind it.

I replaced engine on 20 ton huskee few years back. It had a Tecumseh 5hp that lasted longer than any Tecumseh I've ever been associated with but in the end it did die. Replaced with a Briggs 190cc and it was a direct bolt up replacement with no modifications needed. Suspect this motor could use...

Working on a 029 super for a buddy. After doing some carb setting research it sounded pretty standard for Stihl saws. Seat the H and L setting and back out 1 full turn should get you close then optimize from there and set LA by plug color. His saw after warmed up doesn't want to idle, bogs and...

small mulch ring around them, some more than others. They get a wheel barrow of mulch each spring when I remove the old from the wifes flowerbeds. Weed eat every other mowing. Mow with a front mount 72" grasshopper

Will look it over next chance I can and try to tighten everything. It's been a great saw and it owes me nothing. Issue started about a month ago and has let me down now a handful of times since. After I cleaned everything it ran well for a couple tanks and then gremlin came back ?? I recently...

Their yard trees, but would just like to mow under them without leaning over the side or ducking to clear them when passing under. Trees are on a steep hill so on one side the limbs may be as little as 3-4 feet from ground and 5-6 on the other. Just basically want to know if there is a cutoff on...

Purchased an acerage approximately 15 years ago, built a new home and began planting hardwood oaks. Have mostly swamp whites and reds with a few pins. These were all nursery trees with approximately 2 inch trunks when planted and probably 10 feet tall. Currently I have 20 living oaks and the...

Have an old stihl 029, almost 25 years old and it has seen a lot of service. Has always been rock solid til just recently. Since day one- full choke on, pull 8-10 times and motor pops - drop back to half choke and throttle it she jumps up to normal choke off and is ready to work. Saw will run...

Was time to upgrade my saw, been running an 029 with a 20 inch bar for past twenty years now and it has been an awesome saw. The unit is a little underpowered when in the big stuff so I done the muffler mod on it a couple years back. Seem to make a noticeable improvement and is still going...

Just picked up a new ms362 c-m tonight with 25 inch bar. Liked how my old 029 responded from the mod to pull the longer bar. Can I still do the muffler mod on this saw with that smart carb ? thought I'd at least remove the spark screen to free it up some

Saw slid off tailgate a few days ago and hit "just right" on the frozen ground and cracked the fuel tank. I disassembled saw so I could get at crack and plastic weld it shut and extra seal with JB weld. Repair worked well but in putting saw back together today I'm having trouble with the darn...
