al, i have an s-25 in craftsman red here that wants to rev to the moon and die. pressure tests out more than fine. i know the engine is properly sealed. the carb is perfectly clean, i mean brand new clean.
idles perfect.
throttles up perfect.
will not top out and burble, just wants to sing higher and higher.-- at "stock" settings.
tried the low speed jet open to just above a half turn open, re-adjusted idle, now a nice top rpm, and she really cuts very well.
i tried the low from just opened, to about 3/4 of a full turn. this saw just seems to like that spot. and it sort of makes sense to me now becaues when i recieved it, the low was just about where i have it now.
i remember some of the older homelites having carbs that needed to be set like that.
when I grow up, i wanna be an adult.
