ok i know many of you guys love this saw and i do too, ive had mine for a year with not a single problem besides having to turn the idle up, until now i had a bad idea to shoot a couple bursts of carb cleaner down the carb and the strato ports? if thats what they are called the two openings side by side? i sprayed it in the intake of the carb and those ports now my throttle sticks badly i have to move the trigger in and out manual or by the little ear on the carb itself. inside these ports looks like theres a a plastic thing that controls how much the ports are open by the throttle, letting a certain amount of air in certain positions, i didnt think about it but i think the carb cleaner might have eaten the plastic up and distorted it, i then sprayed some wd40 in there to see if that would help and it did so ive worked the throttle ear back and forth a hundred times and its getting better but still sticks more then normal i have to pull on the trigger instead of press to pull the linkage back to a idle position. any ideas? id prefer not to take the carb off cuse theres saw dust all over everything and i dont wana get it in the motor. what do you think i should do? will it fix it self after running it for 5 mins?
