Ran 1 1/2 tanks today on the 064
I fetched out the adjustment screw driver, and twiddled it. Eventually I learned something...
I was trying to adjust the idle down, it was idling just way to fast to suit me, and the chain would not stop...
Ok, played with the L setting, and eventually backed the idle screw all the way loose. still rapped up.
I will check out the carburetor closely... it is a china knockoff of the fine Walbro that should be in there, but it worked fine for a year or two...
It has to be the carb... but I fully intend to pressure/vacuum test this saw. Just to be certain that the seals are good.
Logically, if it is running, then the butterfly has to be open enough to pull fuel from the carb... evidently the idle screw did NOT allow the throttle plate to close completely.
Or the saw would have died... which is what I expected it to do.
Strange?
Have you seen this before?
