Working on an MS 170.
It is an MS 170 with a 14" bar/chain . . . it had a broken case where the lever for the throttle snaps in so I transferred everything over to another case. The saw started but didn't run good on wide open. It wasn't quite getting to the top rpm's. I took the spark plug out and cleaned it. Also sprayed some carb cleaner in. The saw just doesn't want to stay running. Any ideas? should i just put a new carb on it? Is there a jet adjustment on these or do they come preset?
Any help would be appreciated . . .
