Just for fun today I thought I would use the Craftsman to clean up some brush and thin out the small saplings out back. It started right up and seemed OK so I ran it for a while. It stalls after a few seconds after full throttle and coming back to idle. I thought maybe a carb adjustment but the stupid carb has tapered splined carb screws. So I tried a plastic pen body it worked a little but not good. So I ran down to the local parts store but they will not sell the splined screw driver to me wtf. So I put it aside and finished with the Husqvarna 136. Guess I have to pull the screws out of the carb and slot them for a screw driver.
Small fuel line works also for the splined screws. My local small engine guy said there may be one "laying in the parking lot" that's how I got my tool.
Its amazing how tight the man is on these engine shop owners about selling those tools.
PAC man?? pic please?I just bought a splined off amazon for 8 bucks delivered not too long ago. I have a double d, now I just need a pacman and I'll be set.
Nice tirade, but you are confusing the requirement with the solution. The requirement is "make a saw that meets these limits". So the manufacturer submits a product, but if there are adjustment screws on the side then how does the manufacturer assure that the stuff they sell performs like the stuff they submitted? The special screws was the solution the manufacturers designed, along with other wonderful ideas like packing the adjustments with epoxy. Eventually they came up with better approaches like feedback carbs.****@$^&^$@@!##$ idiots! Won't let you adjust your saw correctly so it actually works, but they will let one million small engines a year toast from running too lean, then they have to be replaced. Which causes more air pollution? Idiots, no actually, they know exactly what they are doing, which is taking over every single aspect of our lives, they are just totalitarian bastiges. Feudal overlords.
Close off fireroads so that what used to be a hundred acre wildfire now gets to 100,000 acres because the crews can't get to it. They close off the roads to protect the endangered three eyed flying newt, desert tortoise, spotted owl, whatever, which *burns up* in the wildfires.
Two chinese ships carrying over containers of cheap crap running on bunker fuel cause more air pollution. but oh noes, can't adjust your saws any more.....
