Hey guys,
My 020T is a great saw. love it. But...it's bogs down occasionaly when revving and you have to ease into the throttle till it revs up and straightens out. It's very similar to a quad/dirtbike "loading up" because the jetting is too fat. Only thing is, I don't think that the 020T has a main or pilot jet I can step down. Any suggestions? It's a later model saw. About a year or two before they went to the "toolless" filler caps. Doesn't have a ton of hours on it, filter stays cleaned out. Stays dry in foul weather. Always use fresh 92 octane/Stihl hi-perf. mix. I've heard talk of the impulse tube being replaced on these saws as part of the yearly tune-up work....mine is the original. Don't know if it matters cause I'm not for certain what it is....clear me up there? Thanks guys! Oh! Also....what is the final verdict on modding the muffler on this saw and what exactly do I need to do to accomplish this? Thanks!!!
