Hi,
just found this forum and hoping I can get some help.
I’ve had my Stihl for 7 years and in the last couple of years it’s started to run poorly. It bogs down when I pull the accelerator trigger and I’ve had the carb cleaned, replaced the air filter, fuel filter, spark plug, fuel line but no change. A couple of weeks ago I asked my local garden machinery shop and they suggested taking off the adjustment caps on the H & L carb adjusters which I did, and with a bit of tweaking of the screws the saw then ran ok and I thought result! However I tried to start the saw today and initially it did run on tick over but wouldn’t speed up, and after randomly turning the H & L adjustment screws it now doesn’t start at all!!
is there a standard start setting for the H & L adjusters without the caps i.e. screw fully clockwise and then 2 turns counter clockwise that will at least get the saw started? Or am I looking at getting a new carb?
thanks
