I’ve bought a ms461 spares or repairs no carb
I've fitted a HD 16 carb left over from previous project
The saw will run & rev but wont idle
I've checked everything barrel & piston, rings, inlet manifold, impulse hose, crank bearing seals, fuel pickup pipe, air gap.
Stripped the HD 16 lowered & raised the inlet control leaver checked metering diaphragm removed the high & low speed caps for extra adjustment
Fitted the carb from my 046 good running saw and the MS461 won't idle with this car either
Is there a reason why this 461 won't take a HD 16 carb
Below are the carbs listed for 46 saws
Stihl 046 HD 14, 16, 24 HD 8, 9
Ms460 HD 14, 16, 24
MS461 HD 50 & HD51
Any help would be greatly appreciated
