stihl ms210 issues

[miker]

how do you adjust the carb on these as there is no hi/lo and tickover,saw starts and runs, but will not restart from hot?? cheers

Does the saw cut out once its got warm? if it does its more likely the ignition unit that neads to be replaced.

Like already mentioned it is quite possible the ignition or even the impulse hose is collapsing.

 

Are you sure there aren't any adjustment screws?

 

It is possible to richen the saw up by bending the inlet control lever slighlty up (or drilling the jets ever so slighlty bigger on a fixed jet carb).

Oops, forgot to say check the tank vent first.

The IPL shows all carb variants have H & L screws - Plance éclatées MS 210-MS 210C : Smaf-Touseau.com

 

Are you sure someone hasn't swapped it for one off a strimmer or something - only saw without an H screw I have come across is the MS170/180 and they still have an L screw:confused1:

sorry, not my saw,its a stihl yukk!! lol,it has a h screw and a la screw,on the cover it says h 3/4 la 1, but if you set the la to 1 turn it wont start, its more like 1 1/2 turns to get it to run and tickover, checked tank breather all good there, the saw has only done about 3 hours work apparently tho is 2 years old

You and your carb issues - sell it on ebay like the last one:thumbup:

 

Start the saw, adjust for an idle a tad fast, turn in the L screw - the saw will race and then start to die, unscrew the L screw until the saw goes past the fastest idle point and go around 1/4 turn counter clockwise past it and adjust the idle speed - give the saw a fistfull and make sure it picks up ok, if it bogs then take the L screw out a further 1/4 turn and try this.

those ipl, list all carbs as having an idle screw,this one definately has no idle adjustment,am i having a thick moment? definately only 2 screws, h and la
