Stihl 017 help please

Try bending the carb metering arm 0.25 - 0.5mm away from the body of the carb, a straight edge across the carb body gasket surface will help get it about right.

 

This should give the saw a little more fuel as it looks like this is what is missing.

Found a guy in a small engine shop who is going to have a look on Monday.

In a place called Ballina about 40 mins away. Home of the BIG PRAWN !! lol

Sounds like a lot of effort for a saw you can buy brand new for £170!

So it would seem

Don't know how to explain it but I will have a go.........................

 

Contained within the Carb is a needle thing which has a lever thing on top of it this is held in place by a screw , there is also a spring involved.

The lever thing was kind of bent up a bit high, apparently this let in too much fuel which puts the fire out.

The man from Big Prawn town made it into the right shape and now its all kinds of awesome!

Well as awesome as an 18 year old very small 017 can be!!
