The saw is a 42/42 Special/242. Saw had been operating erratically.
Can sometimes get it running good at high speed by playing with the choke in and out and then at about half choke. It will not even come close to idling without dying. The idle screw does not seem to do anything. It has High, Low and Idle adjusting screws and I've tried all sorts of settings. I would really like to know what is going on with it. Meanwhile, I've ordered a carb rebuild kit; will that do it?
Any suggestions or comments appreciated.
