Can anyone tell me?
I have the 14” bar and 3/8 .050 chain, WT-215 carb with the H & L carb adjustment screws! (Cheaper $10 Qazaky brand carb) ) (Brass plug out and side hole plugged) MMod’ed (plus a stock muffler, to test the difference)
I can’t get it adjusted right by ear!!
My ms250’s I have no problem hearing when I’m “tuned to the wood”! (Four strokes when I lift out of the wood)
I received my Tiny Tach DTL-100 tachometer today!
My Stihl Manuel doesn’t tell me what the rpm’s should not exceed! And I couldn’t find it on Stihls official site!
I’ve searched and found where BSnelling mentioned wot rpm’s for the ms180...But can’t find it for the 170! (Is it the same?)
If anyone knows or has an idea for the recommended max rpm’s at wot AND for idle speed I would greatly appreciate your input!
Right now when I tune it by ear to what seems close to right the:
L is out about 2.5 turns and the:
H is only out about 3/4 of a turn! (But I lose power in the cut) (I put on two different new carbs and end up with the same adjustment)
That doesn’t seem right!
I start with one full turn out for both the H & L
and will not run!
I’m using brand new 40:1-50:1 premix from Walmart until I get it figured out! (I normally run 45:1 non-synthetic)
Brand new ms170 that ran great with the stock carb! But it wasn’t four stroking at wot before a cut, so I know it was lean!
Again I have no prob tuning my ms250’s or my Echo 600P! Or others saws that I’ve had, but having trouble getting this one dialed in!
Thanks so much in advance for your help!!!
