Rebuilding the carb to my $25 burnt up 036 purchase.
When i took of the top flat plate of the carb, i found on the inside of the plate, that the two pockets (top and right side) with the small dia. holes leading to exterior of carb, were filled with fine flakes of sawdust and gunk. Is this build up of sawdust/gunk in the carb from the previous owner neglecting to clean inside the air box? The filter/screen in the carb is clean, as the rest of the inside of carb is clean-ish.
It definatly was a neglected saw-air filter never cleaned, clutch cover never takin off to clean out the clutch area, completly caked up, crapped up saw when i got it; and bar, chain, sprocket, drum were prolly never even thought of being looked at.
Second question-Is this saw recent enough to have limiter caps, or the sort? the Hi and Lo jet screws have the clearish with plast base going around them and then the red and white caps on the jet screw heads. the caps on the heads have tabs that make contact with oppostite screw, coming off the side to prevent the screw turning no more than 3/4 turn or so either direction. Is this something to worry about...meaning if they are the limiter caps, do the tabs need to be snipped off to allow better tuning?
Thanks for any help yall maybe able to offer, If ya have questions as far as to what im saying-let me know and i'll try to clarify
