I have a Mac 120 I'm trying to bring back to life. It died years ago when ethanol came on the scene. I got another saw, but would like to dedicate that, with 3/8 drive and automatic oiler, to a Simpson capstan winch.
I soaked and rebuilt the Walbro carb on the 120. In the process I raised the float needle tab slightly. On reassembly, it would fire then die with abundant fuel emitting from exhaust on subsequent attempts to restart.
I went back in and lowered the tab. Now it starts and idles well but will not accept throttle, with little or no response to hi speed needle adjustment. Did I flatten the tab too much?
I know....I should toss it and get a real saw. I just don't like being beaten by an inanimate object.
