thanks .can you test a coil.still trying to make bits at work for the spark plug opening as well as decorating
-
once upon a time i remember them being not such high maintenance
-
agreed. tester came today but am waiting to get to work next week to make a fitting for the spark plug opening to test the crank seals,
-
which one needs the most maintenance?
-
yeah i know must drive you mad.these were supposed to be little evening tinker jobs which is now getting out of control lol
-
ahh ok i'll try that tomorrow,i've gotta get one of these three running before i lose my mind

ok so i just had a look at the ms171 while i'm waiting for my vac/pressure tester for the 266.if i put the needle arm level to the floor, then the needle cant move up.the only way the needle can move is if i bend the arm higher which according to the zama website is wrong.
-
ok i'll look again on that.are we saying level with top of carb frame or the indent bit where pin and screw are?
-
ok i will have to bite the bullet and get a pressure/vacuum tester because i have another 61 and a stihl 171 both have have new carb kits but still bog down when started.thanks for your help hopefully this will pinpoint the problem/s.also it came with a throttle rod that looks off i dunno what,the only place i can find a new one is off the bay from china.
