I have cleaned and re-cleaned my Stihl 017's carb and I think I'm just going to replace it as they're not that expensive. I really like the 017 when it's running so I need to figure out a way to get it to run more consistently.
Right now, it will start up well enough when it's cold. It doesn't run great and I have to stay on the throttle at least a little or it will die. Then, usually after about 5min or so of using it it will die and I will not be able to get it to start for 24hrs or so.
So, I'm willing to stick a little money into it to rebuild it even though I know it's not exactly on the top of most people's list of desirable saws.
So, what replacement carb would you guys recommend and where should I get it from?
