    Stihl MS170 bogging down

    This thing is killing me. I have a Stihl MS170. Recently it started bogging down when I would put any pressure on it. The carb was replaced. Still does it. If I get the chain up to speed and put it on the wood, it cuts nicely... until I put any pressure on it. There is also smoke coming from...

    Factory Idle Speeds

    I'm trying to make a cheat sheet or pocket card for the guys at work to use when tuning saws. I'm having trouble tracking down the suggested idle settings for a few models that we own. I know tuning to ear is a better practice, but I need a quantifiable range to use as a baseline for the ones...

    Hi guys, I am having an issue with a dolmar 5105 that I purchased from a gentleman on this site a couple years ago. Easy start, fully adjustable carb, 5100s muffler to keep heat down, a tach to check rpms. About 25 hours on it since I got it. Not much use in it before I got it. I have run...

    I have a titan 57 that I have had since new. I stopped using it 4-5 years ago. I planned on reusing it again this year but oil lines were cracked. I replaced all fuel and oil lines, cleaned air filter, gave it a new spark plug and it started fine. Took it in the woods and found it would bog...

    New Stihl Zama Carb

    So some of us may know how expensive the oem carbs for a Stihl Ms361 are. Over a $100 for those who don't already know, one of the most expensive they have so naturally I was looking for a cheaper alternative. I hopped on amazon and found one of the few 361 carbs with some reviews, which were...

    Poulan 2000 won't start

    I was recently given a poulan 2000. It will not start. It seems to have good enough compression, it has spark. I'm thinking maybe the carb? I just don't have much experience with them so any help on how to troubleshoot would be great.

    Stock carb settings for 051AV?

    So I just replaced the piston and cylinder on my 051AV (early model) and I'm trying to get the carb (Tillosten) tuned. After the replacement, the saw fired right up and idled well, but the first time I pulled the throttle, the carb got stuck open so I pulled the carb off and cleaned it and it's...

    Jonsered 2159c idling tuning issues

    Hi all, I have read many tuning posts and have applied a lot of what I have read. The chainsaw was running rough for a day, I put it away for a week and then I couldn't get it to start to save my life. I replaced the diaphragm and other basic carb kit parts. Pulled the head to make sure the...

    Stihl MS441 carburetor removal

    Hi all, Perhaps I'm missing something simple, but I cannot seem to figure out how to remove the carb from the cylinder head on my MS441. I have both separated from the rest of the saw as a unit, but I cannot separate the two. I notice that there are four bolts perhaps holding the whole carb...

    pb770t problems

    Was given this 770t for use at our church. It will pop and run for 15 seconds and then dies. I pulled apart the carb and no issues there. It sat for two months. It almost seems like as soon as the fuel brought up by the primer bulb is gone it dies but there is still fuel in the fuel line...

    Stihl MS362 OEM Carb Hunt

    I am looking for a NEW OEM replacement carb for my MS362. Rebuilding it is not an issue. I can do it in my sleep but before doing it I wanted to see if someone had a new one lying around or could get one at a good price. The part number for the carb is 1140 120 0600.
