Dolmar/Tillotson injection carburettor help please?

[Adamam]

Hello!

 

I have a Makita DCS6000i (Domar PS6000i), and need a tiny bit of help with the choke valve.

 

Does this valve just have two positions, or does it unscrew all the way out?

 

I ask because at the moment it runs with the switch in the choke position, and cuts out in the 'start' position (and won't start).

 

I wonder if at some point the valve has been turned 180 degrees which would cause this to happen, but I don't want to ruin the carb if this isn't the case (by turning it 180 degrees back).

 

It'd be easy to do this (by accident or design)...

 

If I keep turning the valve clockwise, should it eventually fully seat, or does it turn indefinitely?

I have a DCS6000i available for parts if you so wish...

There is a guy on my site with a 6000i and he pulled the like new topend off and put on a 6800 topend. You might ask him about the i stuff.

I have ran the saw and looked it over.

Thanks so much for that!

 

Those threads were very helpful. I'll fiddle more today, and if I can't get anywhere then I'll see if that chap can offer any ideas...

 

Thanks again.

 

TCD, do you have a price in mind? Maybe you could PM me if you do?

 

Cheers!
