Been finishing off the 020AVT - one thing I really hate about this design is having to strip half the machine to get to the carb, guess what.................. the carb played up and the metering arm stuck open - got it going well in the end, slight bogging, tweaked the H screw and bingo, spot on now and cutting well.

Aye that figures, well my name is Cheryl actually:lol:

No I just faff about with saws as a hobby. I only cut a few ton every year to keep warm. Current fleet is my old jonsered 2040 ,20 years old does not want to die, Husqvarna 266 animal of a saw but with suspected air leak and the Dolmar took a punt on it. For really big stuff I borrow my boss man's 576xp:thumbup1:

On the 266 - may be worth changing the clutch side seal, itis the typical suspect but depends on how much mechanics you do. If you are tempted to run it, give the H screw 1/4 - 1/2 extra turn out but wouldn't recommend running it until a pressure/vac test has been done on it, especially if it currently has good compression!

 

Any air leak will cause a lean mix and at high revs, the saw will over rev, this causes heat and enough to start melting the piston on the exhaust side and this transfers on to the cylinder and POP, the end of your saw running:thumbdown:
