I just rebuilt a Husky 142 Chainsaw that had cylinder damage from, I'm guessing, a poorly tuned carb.
After I had the engine mostly together, I sprayed some fogging oil in the intake hole(with carb off) and then I also put a bit of 2 stroke oil in there. I was worried about lubrication while it tried to start. After everything was put back together, I pulled the string a bit with the exaust off to let the oil spray out, which a bit of it did.
The carb is set with both high and low jets set to 1 turn out, and it doesn't really run. It sputters for a second, but then dies. Also, it smoked a lot as it was trying to start, which I'm sure was all the oil in it.
I was ran it for about 20 seconds by holding the throttle at wide open, but that was only getting it to run at idle, or maybe a litle faster. A bit later, I ran it for about another 10 seconds with the throttle at full before I decided to come as for help before I melt it down.
The good news is it is still smoking, so I'm pretty sure its still oily and cool, so I don't expect a meltdown.
Is there anything I should do? Does it take a while to blow out oil?
Thanks a bunch,
