024 carb help

[chuck norris]

does anybody know how to reset the LA screw on a 024 carb?

I know how to reset the other screws, but all the info I can find requires the saw to be running

LA screw is tickover control and can't be set properly without the saw running. Screw it in all the way so the saw races if you start it then slow it down to an acceptable speed where the clutch doesn't kick in or hold the trigger in while the saw starts then set it so it keeps running and doesn't stall when you release the trigger. All it does it hold the linkage so it doesn't return past a certain point.

Ok thanks alot

well I just went and did that, and it did not help. could it be a different issue?

The problem is, well it wont start. I recently replaced the fuel pipe/filter and cleaned the carb, then when I tryed to start it back up it started I revved it then it died (at the time I though i just flooded it) but now I can not get it to start at all.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Check over what you did to the carb again. Did you replace any parts or just put the old diaphragms and gaskets back in ? For what it costs a rebuild kit is always the best idea if you strip a carb.

old gaskets

but will it be that, since it did run (if only for a short time) after being rebuilt?

[spudulike]

It probably just burnt off the remaining fuel in the cylinder and that was it. If you take the carb off and take the covers off, you should be able to tell where the issue is as there will be no petrol in the cavities.

 

Did you take the needle out?

Also check gasket and diagrams are back in correct order. See parts diagrams. Did you remove the l and h screws? If so wind them gently all the way in then out 1 turn for general settings.
