Stubborn clutch removal...

That stalling is probably the L screw being a bit lean, the H screw too rich making the saw load up under load or a bit of an air leak.

Have tried various positions on the L and idle screws but it hasn’t helped (plus it’s hard to adjust properly when the saw won’t idle normally...) hadn’t really thought of adjusting the H screw tbh, will try leaning that up a bit tomorrow and see if it helps. If tha doesn’t help I guess I’ll have to look for an air leak. There does seem to be quite a lot of buildup in the muffler (from what I can see through the exhaust port), do you think there’s any chance that could be causing it?

 

Thanks, James

Go careful on leaning the H screw as it can seize the saw. Only do it if your sparkplug looks jet black and not if the plug is tan in colour!
