So I have a couple question. Repaired a friends Craftsman pre-strato square box top cover with the ridge for the spark plugs Anti Vibe chainsaw. It’s the sister to the Poulan 2550. I think it’s a Type 6 or Type 7?
So new lines, clean carb, needle valve clicking with the new metering diaphragm being pushed up and down , refueled and reassembled.
So I go to adjust the carb snd set the idle nice snd slow. With the low screw 1.5 turns the saw bogs when the trigger is pulls and between 1/12 and 1 3/4 it loads up and pukes before it achieves the quick snappy trigger response. At 1 3/4 the saw has great trigger response but the idle has to be turned in to keep it from loading up so is not a bobble bobble bobble. It’s a running motor. Chain is not moving, so it works but it’s a faster idle.
First question, is there anything I missed? It’s running snd completely usable, as it is, but the idle is kinda fast to keep it from puking with the low set to the richness it needs to accelerate
Question two, should the idle be set to just short of chain engagement or is or better to slowly bobble?
Third question, is this even a concern or should I get a life and not worry?
