Some sealant or pack with grease. Torque the clutch properly to tighten everything down on that side. Stihl 044s have a similar design.
AS was in decline for a few years before that, too. The Brain Drain was expedited by a hack, political BS, and many fake saw “porters” who clogged...
Right… try pressure.
Ok, good. With the clutch tightened? Leaks- Impulse line, base gasket, case gasket, fuel line/carb (which you are bypassing), intake, spark plug,...
Avoid starting fluid or carb cleaner. Brake kleen, wd-40, or other aersols are better. ^this is for the mentioned leak check, not to get a saw...
If nothing obvious, I would question how effectively you’re blocking things. A leak is normally slow and steady unless something is way off....
Is the clutch tightened with the spacer intact?
Caber rings are fantastic. This is a good series of saws to mess around with. Walt (afleetcommand) has a decent channel with a few dozen videos...
That old one is a great restoration project waiting to happen, too. Those units are fantastic splitters capable of real work. I own an old Iron...
Elastostart if it doesn’t have one (it probably does) helps with these 1122s. Very good saw.
I’m sure you would have seen similar stumps in the Hilton, NY area circa 1990. I am still amazed that we lucked out on direction a few times. I...
Have a trusted saw nut go through the fuel system. The intake boot issue and a finicky idle can usually be identified and fixed.
It does sound like it’s loading up a bit. Start with a good air filter clean and the make slight adjustments to the L (in, clockwise) and see if...
Yes to the above responses with an emphasis on cleaning the air filter, filling with fresh fuel, warming up before adjustments, and keeping these...
Ya know what… it really was.
Correct. Not a deal breaker, though.
Scenario 1- You have a 5mm recoil and a 4mm case half (unlikely for your situation). Options are- drill and tap the case to 5mm OR drill and...
I mean the recoil (starter) screws that hold the recoil to the case half. Some are 4mm for this series (older 034s). There are workarounds for...
Recoil bolt size?
Good choice getting the full case, btw.
