Back together. Spent 20 mins. Crawling around on the floor looking for one of the wrist pin retainers.
Nice! I don't know, looking at the first pic and then the video of the PH running reminded me of this.
That's crazy, never heard of that, but anything is possible. Does it seem to move excessively easy with a screwdriver?
Nice job! Your "0" series is growing very quickly my friend! ! I like it!! That is normally the tightest screw. But anything is possible. Do you have a hardware store with small spring stock?
Screw seems looser that it should. Snowed hard in the afternoon here and I packed in trying to tune the saw after the video. We got 6" in 3 hours so I will have time to pull the carb tomorrow and take a good look. The guy I got the 044 from had about 20 268,272,371,372 carcasses sitting around as well but would only part with the nasty old Stihl. I tried hard to get them but he wouldn't budge. He has my number if he changes his mind.
Pulled the carb and the LA screw is easy to spin with my fingers. What is that spring theory DexterDay?
Pull the screw and put a spring on the shaft where it goes in between it and the head to give tension on it. Can't picture how there attached in my head right now? I know there pointed and the throttle plate rides on the point. Just can't picture where it screws into??
I sat down and googled the carb and it is missing something called a "friction piece" looks to work something like a detent. And it is missing. Problem with a spring where you describe is it is cone shaped all the way down and the spring might interfere with adjustments.
Thanks, picked it up a couple weeks ago for very little. Top end was toast from having run lean. It was definitely rode hard and put up wet. Nice to breath new life into a beat up old work horse.
