Ill find a workshop manual and send it to you. Those pumps need to be inserted quite specifically or they wont work. The pump needs to be set to the right depth and it needs to be facing a certain way. If I get a saw in with those pumps and the pipe or filter isn't blocked I just replace the pump, its not worth cleaning it and putting it back in as it never works.

 

 

Very much obliged. Had worked out the clock. Hadn't spotted the depth requirement. Is the special tool required to get the depth right or can it be pushed in and measured from anything?

Thinking about it, I probably would have worked out the depth myself. Like when the driving gear teeth chewed themselves off.

I measure the depth the depth of the pump before I remove it, I think its around 5mm.

I wasn’t clever enough to do that.

I didn't the first time and had to strip another saw down to check as I didn't have the stihl tool!

This video suggests that you just push the pump all the way down, it might be correct but I couldn't say for sure.

Video not visible if there's meant to be one. I suspect you're right about going all the way in. Will inspect saw in daylight and scale the photo of the seating tool to see if that gives any hints.

That’s another thought. I have a 230 here I can look at if I want to take that apart (which I don’t). 
 

Thanks for help. Until morning.
