I found the same issue while trying to pdi a 435 that just wouldn't run properly. I found no mention of a new tool so I gave up and it's sitting on the workbench gathering dust 

 

 

 

 

Same problem - I have a brand new 435 and used it on a small job last week.  Run very poorly - cutting out, not ticking over properly and sometimes reluctant to rev.  If I can`t sort a tool I will return to supplier and let them sort it.   Cheers

Hi  Thanks for the info - any idea of a part number and/or supplier

 

No number sorry I bought it on eBay a few years ago, I thought they were all like that.

Thanks. I'll have to order one although Im loath to buy these tools. Bleedin thing should just work straight out of the box.

Thats the same issue I had. Most machines do the above straight out of the box but usually once they have had a few revs and a bit of fuel through the carb they run OK but you do get more than the the odd machine that needs a bit of tuning.

If you use the over size tool with a small circle of plastic builders bag or a wee bit of t shirt to take up the space you might get enough friction to get it to work... not ideal, but I have done this.

Once removed the L & H screws can be given a tiny 1/2mm  slot using a Dremel avoiding the problem every time you need to adjust, I've done this many times on cheaper Chinky machines that weren't under warranty.

 

They're always going to need tuned after a bit of running from new and occasionally from time to time.

I got one of these sets, very useful and comes in a wallet which keeps tools together

Yes run it for about 1 hour off and on but not brilliant.  I had my old 435 MK1 to hand and finished the job with that.  I`ve contacted a couple of dealers inc L&S who have replied  -

"Thank you for your email. I can confirm this is the same one for your chainsaw. I have included the parts diagram & workshop manual for you. 
 
530 03 55 60 - Carb Adjustment Tool"

 

I have ordered this one as my current tool is part of a set from Amazon or Ebay so I have no part number.  I did stress that the tool for the Mk1 did not fit.  I will update when it arrives.  Thanks Paul

I have a similar 6 piece set which fits EVERYTHING except the MK2 435.  We have various brands of equipment and my little set fits them all.  Cheers
