Chainsaw Repair

Kevin.  One more thing I thought of that would give erratic carburetion would be a bent fork on the metering needle /fulcrum.  The forks are often bent from the mfg.  Take a close look at that.   

Me and this 2100 is going to fight. I tell ya that right now. LOL  4th freaking pull the recoil rope let go.  All 2' of it.  I put 3' of super strong recoil rope back in it.

Cylinder bolts checked out and was thinking maybe gasket between cylinder block was missing. So I pulled all of that to make sure and back together.

Then starting tearing back into carb.  Adam I did find bent fork on 1 side of the needle.  Instead of straightening that one. I just pulled everything out of the carb except the welch plug.  Knowing it was working right with that one. Noticed the new check valve diaphragm material was a little different.  More the of rubber style I like then material style like in it.   

Sprayed carb cleaner through all the holes making sure everything was working and not blocked anywhere. All checked out.

3 pull on choke she popped. 1 pull after she is running idling PHO.  Now to test and see what happens.  Hopefully the run on yesterday was due to the bent fork around needle and not seals. 

The on/off switch works.
