SOURCE: Husqvarna Chain Saw Rope Pulls Very Hard, what is the cause?????????

Has it always done this or has it developed?
Some saws have a decompression button to make it easier to pull over.

Check your compression...if it reads anything less than 100psi you need to tear it down and replace the piston ring. Looking for the spark is unreliable, get an in-line spark checker and check for spark. Loss of compression due to a stuck piston ring is very common in the pbv200 series.

SOURCE: NO SPARK, HAVE NEW PLUG BUT IT CONTINUES TO FLOOD.

If raw fuel comes out of the muffler then you have an extreme flooding condition. There are no Model Numbers to tell me which type of saw we are working on but this works most of the time.

Try this: Remove the spark plug and BE CERTAIN the stop-switch is in the OFF position. Take the saw outside and bring a fire extinguisher with you! Hold the saw by the rear handle and let the muffler hang down to the lowest point possible. SLOWLY begin to pull the starter rope and observe the fuel being pumped out of the muffler. Gradually increase the speed of the rope pull and get as much fuel out as possible. When satisfied that it's dry, it isnt. Use compressed air to LIGHTLY blow into the spark plug hole and continue to pull the rope. (Might need 50 or more pulls!) Blow the spark plug dry and reinstall it.
Turn the switch ON, leave the choke OFF, and hold the trigger wide open. Start the saw and allow it to run at full throttle until it clears out all unburnt fuel and has good throttle response. If you need further assistance reply to this post with the make and model of the saw and I will be happy to help.

Hope this is helpful,
Dolf-

SOURCE: Can't pull the starter cord,

Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly
Remove the muffler and clean out the exhaust port and screen. You will have to disassemble the muffler and clean off or replace the screen item 8 of this link:
http://www.partstree.com/parts/?lc=echo&mn=CS-330T++S%2FN%3A+C08611001001+-+C08611999999&dn=7946

Before taking the muffler apart... unhook the spark plug and just pull it though with the muffler removed. If it pulls normally you know you have found the problem.

If it still pulls hard...check the exhaust port of the cylinder head for 2 tiny holes (not screw holes) Some have them some don't depending upon the year of the saw. If you do find 2 small holes that appear clogged with carbon... do your best to clean them out.

Thanks for choosing FixYa,
Kelly

Chain saw stalls

hello sir,, now there are two types of carb.adjustment screw covers,the old one where there are plastic over the screws,simple remove the plastic covers with a pair of needle nose pliers or cutting off,,,second are the new ones that are above the adjustment screws,which you have to take your drummel tool with the cutting blade and cut slots in the screws, after you get this done it is important to count the number of rotations in until stops make note how many. because you are going to reset the same way.now remove the screws,put to the side when you get ready to put screws in put in all the way than back out as many turns that you noted, now that is factory set there should only be a small adjustment to do. the rule of thumb is turn both out 1 1/4 turn and adjust in until saw runs smooth and idles ok, it is hard to adjust the top speed when saw is running wide open,let saw idle when adjusting top speed is easier that way, when you go to cut wood you may have to readjust top speed, the above does apply some what if you are not using fresh gas mix and dumped out the old fuel and starting with fresh,and a new plug CJ8Y,and as you know the saw has to breath in and out by this i mean a clean air filter,make sure the small screen on the muffler is not cloged,this will keep saw from running at peak speed and sawing wood, ok i have ran across a few saws to where the small screen in the muffler is cloged so the saw would idle but not run at high rpm's,if you do and check all of the above your saw should run,oh btw check compression should be above 60 to 160 lbs, hope this helps,any comments welcome,thank you. 00

Is there a starting point for the three adjusting screws on the carb?saw is a mac 3516 35cc. i need a good starting point to get the saw running.

Hi kwismer1...
The saw was running good when new, the adjustment screws cannot get turned in or out because of the spring so that will be your starting point.
If you have not already tried to adjust the screws...you can do it an easy way to make sure you get it right.
Screw the adjustment screws all the way to lightly bottom out the adjustment screws...
Then you count and mark down on a piece of paper how many turns it took you to bottom each of the screws....then remove them and clean your carburetor,repair,etc...when you go to put them back in, you bottom them first, and then turn the screw to the number of turns from the bottom that you wrote down.
Please take time to rate me

The screws do not have a flat head? How do I adjust the carb?

if you have plastic caps on the screws you have to pop them off to turn the screws. some screws have a slot and some don't.
for the one's that don't use a pair of needlenose plyers to turn them.

It dies when I power up. Seems like no fuel.

it sounds like it is running on what is in the bowl. when you power up it uses more fuel than is coming in. there is a blockage somewhere. be sure the fuel runs through the lines to the carburetor freely. if it does the you will have to take the carb off and clean it again.

How do you set up a carb on makita chain saw

You provide no manual, I chose a "DCS34" a link follows: http://www.makita.ca/data/upload/tools/DCS34%20F-E.pdf
It lists no starting point for the "H" and "L" needle valves, I recommend 1.5 CCW from lightly seated. then tune for performance like this:
Carburetor Adjustment by Madsens.com
http://www.madsens1.com/saw%20carb%20tune.htm
CW is leaner; to lean will destroy the saw. If over tightened closed (CW) the adjustment screw faces are easily marred; marred adjustments are difficult to impossible to set properly.
Clean the air filter and spark arrestor; adjusting with a dirty filter can cause a run lean condition once cleaned and the saw run. If the saw cannot exhale it cannot inhale.

There are 2 wav (sound - idle & full – may not be highlighted) files that I find most helpful, I think you will too.

If you have more questions or need additional help please reply below and I will get back to you. Thank you for using FixYa and Good Luck. HTH
