A question for the chainsaw experts….Son came by this Craftsman saw that’s in excellent condition except for the chain, actually like new. I suspect the previous owner didn’t know or care about maintenance much and may have just used the saw for a project. The saw was free and after a new chain it costs surprisingly well and is a good limbing saw with the 3/8 lo profile cutters. So, here’s the question: Need the correct carb adjustment tool and can’t get a definitive answer by internet search as to who actually makes this saw. We would also need this information when any replacement parts are necessary. Search says likely Husky but probably one of their affiliated brands? Thanks for any light y’all could shed!!
Some Huskys require this tool. Here's one: CARB SERVICE TOOL Does your carb adjustment screws look like this: This is what my search found: Stanley Black & Decker makes the Craftsman engines. Every part of the Craftsman chainsaws, including the engines, is made in China. After assembling the chainsaw in China, they are imported and sold in the USA and in other countries.
I believe that's an MTD saw. Its identical to the Troy Bilt I experimented on. Parts tree has parts for them. I can't remember if it was splined carb adjustment on the troy bilt version or another odd shape like a double D. PartsTree - Home of OEM Parts for Outdoor Power Equipment
Thanks for the replies! Unfortunately we can’t see the shape of the screws even with a flashlight well enough to determine the exact tool required. Really didn’t want to disassemble the saw to get to the carb but that may be the only option. Our best guesstimate at this point is perhaps the “D” shape but inconclusive .
Yes, that validates my search as well. Since Husqvarna owns Stanley Black & Decker I was hopeful that the Husky tool was the answer but still not sure.
Amazon sells a kit for around 20 that has probably a dozen different drivers for adjusting carbs. Oval , flat , hex , spline........ I bought a set recently when working on something that had a hex adjuster and a regular socket wouldn't quite fit.
