okay, I've rebuilt the Tillotson carb on my Stihl 038 Super. It is an older model Stihl.
1) I start the saw and it runs very fast,fast enough that the chain is moving. I have tried backing out the Idle Adj. Screw, but the only thing that happens is that it dies.
2) I have the carb screws backed out each one turn, but the saw still runs fast enough for the chain to spin.
3) What am I doing wrong?
I here of people using a Tachometer and checking the speed of the saw. How do you adjust the RPM of the saw? Is this done by the gap on the flywheel?
I need some guidance from some of the Gurus on here. Actually, any help will be appreciated!
Thanks,
