I have an ex-HD rental 6401 that has been a great saw, except for idling issues. Always hard to keep it on the line between dying and the chain spinning at idle. Finally took a closer look and realized that the L screw appears to be stripped. If I push hard on the screw I can get it to catch and turn all the way in, but when I turn it out it loses those couple of threads and just spins, has no effect. Saw will run fine and sounds rich enough at full throttle but is slow to respond off idle, clearly too lean on L, using too much S to control idle speed.
I haven't pulled the carb out yet, but considering its age I'm thinking I'd better have a line on some parts, maybe a new carb before I get it apart. I signed on here for the first time in a long time looking for fordf150 and saw that he'd had a fire, search shows no posts since Oct. 2020. Dang.
I'd much rather order parts from a person than a website, both for the quality of information and to keep dollars turning where it will do some good. Recommendations?
