Help with Stihl 036 Full throttle to tickover problems

[Pigglet]

My 036 has had this issue since I got it, basically it will start fine from cold, run up to full throttle and cut under load no problem but when I release the throttle from some where near fully open it will just cut out. If I run it down to tickover slowly it's OK. Any ideas? I was going to order a carb kit which leads me on to......

Do people use parts from the likes of mister solutions, garden hire spares etc or only genuine stihl?

 

All info greatly appreciated.

Sounds like the saw is probably loading up with fuel when it is flat out and it is dropping the revs when you snap the throttle closed.

 

Try leaning down the L screw a little, it may help but really, my first step would be to ensure the carb is tuned properly.

I dropped it into the local dealers for them to look at, they claimed they tuned the carb and it seemed OK when I tried under no load conditions afterwards but when I used it in anger the problem returned.

 

I'll try leaning it off a little and see what happens.
