So I have an 021. Seems to run pretty well, except after it's been cutting and you sit her down. She idles down almost to a stop, and then catches up just before it dies. Does this every 10 or 15 seconds.
I took the saw to an old farm boy and he listened and figured out the tank wasn't getting enough air in to vent it. So he removed one of the two screws from the OEM tank valve. (The OEM fuel vent is a tube with 2 screws in it) Problem fixed. Idles fine, all day. But I'm pretty sure this valve will leak if the saw goes on it's side. Question: Is it OK to use one of newer white bell shaped tank valves? Gotta be better than the old design. Thanks in advance.
