If not fixed, Some of the carbs need the main jet cleaned with carburetor jetting drill bits. Or check the valve clearance.

Have not read all reply's, my experience with Stihl was the gas line is made special at least for an old chain saw.

Have a question I didn't see asked, How does the crank turn over with not pistons hooked up? Did you use slandered or over size rings? very intriguing problem. Hope I don't miss the answer

Had Gen. the filter screen was eaten away clogging the shut off valve, also had carb. problems. Was not run for 12 years.

I buy all my paint for touch up from Home Depo or Lowes $6 to 7 a can.

As above "Star Tech" had same problem, replaced o'ring runs great. They are very small mine was cracked.

Had a blower same thing, put a new spark plug in 2 pulls runs great.

Ever thing above sounds right. Chains must be tight they must over lap the inside wall tighten the adjusters. After that this is what I put on Mine on the outside of the tire, elastic cord from a parashot cord dealer tie and stretch cord tie to opposite side use about six of them. Chains been on...

Right, it does not stop vaporization, from what I read it keeps air from entering the tank that holds moisture from collecting in the alcohol that keeps it from gelling. Can give a 2 year protection. Have worked on generators that haven't run since the storm Sandy 10-12 years ago what a mess...

Yes there are many things. Worn throttle and choke shafts have never so far ran into that problem.

Most carb. problems can be solved using Fuel Stabilizer. Not one customer came back after sub jesting it and I know it was not for sure what I charged to do the work.

Another carb problem came about fixing a customers machine, under those metal plugs inside the carb are fuel channels some with a ball bearing check valve can get plugged from setting to long. If you want to trouble shoot and see the problems use a fine tooth comb to find them.

This is something happened to me. Toro wood chipper, Ran great end of season. Next time I ran it would not run without choking. Persistent to find the trouble on the third time taking apart the carb, on the main jet covering one of the small holes in the main jet there was s peace of gasket...

Why did the crank break? assumed you hit something and now the key is offset on the fly wheel. Replace the key.

Will almost guarantee the high speed jet has dirt in it. Are very small holes along the jet could be plugged or the main jet that screws into it is plugged , or open the jet with a screw driver. If you get a new carb sometimes that jet has to be drilled out with carburetor drills.

I have an older Kohler similar problem hard starting in idle, until you increased the throttle. Inside the carb there is a jet that has 2 O-rings very small. Bottom O-ring was cracked, replaced O-ring and all is good. The jet is removable about 1" or so long.

Everything you suggested is one hundred percent correct. Changed belts, cleaned, Customer is well pleased. Thank you very much .

Yes sir there was plenty of debris in areas you mentioned. In beginning the clutch mechanism felt like it was hanging up. Each time I put a little spray here and there that problem got better. Right now seams the hang-up is a lot better will tell when another test after belts installed. Have it...

You are right in process of ordering belts. Thought they might be more expensive, not so, very reasonable Thank you for the advice. Your a smart man,

sorry 917.203900 Did think about the belts, they look in good shape. I know what your talking about, 500 hours. Hate to buy anything unless I am sure

AFTER learching in either direction mower drives smooth, does not pop back into neutral unless you step on the break. These machines are a dog to work on, What I have done remove the gas tank lubed the clutch cable and plastic forks, made foot peddle smoother to operate, did not see any broken...
