I removed and cleaned the carb on my D140. Now the throttle is not working right. It is opening up to much. I tried adjusting like I saw on videos but no luck. I never had any throttle issues

I am sorry to say this, but the compression for that type of engine should be atleast 120 psi. Remove the muffler and look at the cylinder, it is scarred beyond repair.

Hi
I have been working on my carb today,the pipe from the bottom of the carb should just run down by the bottom of the swinging arm,there should be another pipe from the pipe on the left side of the carb just above the fuel intake which also runs down to the swinging arm and connect to nothing.

Sir, what is the starting adjustments on a Poluan 2000 Carb

Typical for any carburetor is 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 turns (out). These are just rough settings to get the saw running. Remove chain, turn idle throttle speed screw in to increase idle rpms so its less likely to stall. Follow mfg instructions for starting.

Once running, adjust low speed mix and allow a couple minutes to warm. Then re-adjust low speed and lower idle rpms by turning out idle throttle speed screw. Then with throttle wide open adjust high speed mix. If saw hesitates from idle to full throttle, open low speed mix 1/8 turn and readjust high speed mix.

If saw doesn't fire in 3 or 4 pulls remove plug. If plug is dry no fuel, if wet either no spark or idle mix to rich (or fuel metering may be fouled).

My husqvarna 350 chainsaw starts but wont stay running for more than a few seconds

Eric:

Find the gas/air adjustment screws on the carb (next to the the throttle cam where the throttle cable attaches. Turn the screws in all the way... GENTLY... Those are needle valves, and too much torque on them will damage the needle valve seats. turn both of them out one and a quarter to one and a half turns. Start the saw, and adjust one or the other screw in or out until the saw runs properly. If there is a plastic stop installed on the screws, remove it first, and replace it after the saw is running properly. You have to be patient while tuning the carb as it may take a while. If you adjust too much and the saw refuses to start at all, start over with the 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 turns out on the screws.

42cc 18 inch craftsman chainsaw model 358-351910-18. Saw runs great at idle or while not cutting wood, when starting to cut wood just after the entire bar gets into the wood engine bogs down and chain...

Generally this is a fuel / air ratio problem. Usually it can be solved by a carb adjustment. On the carb there are usually two screws, one marked low or L , the other marked high or H. Low is your adjustment for idle mixture, high is for mixture at full throttle. The saw should Always be adjusted to run well during the cut. Make adjustments a little at a time, then try The saw. Continue small adjustments untill the saw is performing well at full throttle while Cutting.

I have a partner cutoff saw k700 active and when it starts it seems to run fine until itry to cut or put a load on it then it bogs down until i take my hand off the throttle after which it seems to idle...

There are a few things that could cause this problem, a dirty fuel filter, plugged tank vent, but most likely it is your carb adjustment.

Depending on which carb is used on that saw (EPA units have fixed jets and can not be adjusted).

If there are adjustable jets on your carb, open your low speed jet on the carborator yes, the low speed, not the high speed (the one closest to the cylinder) about 1/8 of a turn (counter clockwise) depending on the carb they used you might need to remove the limiter cap off the jet (usually made of plastic either grey or blue and it should pull straight off a small pair of needle nose with a bit of work will ususlly do it) Try it again under load, you may have to adjust a little more but 1/8 to 1/4 usually enough.

If opening the low speed jet doesn't solve the problem then the carb will have to be removed and cleaned and a carb kit installed.

Try that and let me know how that works for you.

When i open the throttle a little, the speed increases but at full throttle, the power drops and I lose speed. Admittedly, I bought the C/Saw from a market 'as seen' and I found a few problems like broken...

Basics to check:

1) Spark plug - brown or dark brown - OK
a) is it carbon or fuel fouled
b) is there spark


2) Muffler remove for inspection
a) exhaust screen clean or plugged
b) inspect cylinder wall/piston as the flywheel is slowly rotated

3) Check cylinder compression



Fuel starvation - 'lean fuel' condition

Basic things to check:
1) spark plug
2) spark arrestor in muffler
3) fuel lines and tank filter
4) turn adjustment needles out (counterclockwise) 1/4 to 1/2 turn
Chain Saws:
5) check impulse tube and intake boot for cracks or leaks

*if all of the above are OK and/or do not improve performance then:
Remove Carburetor
6) replace gaskets/diaphragms
a) use a spray carb cleaner to clean jets, holes, and body of carb
b) fuel pump diaphragm goes against the carb body,
then the gasket towards the outside
c) metering gasket goes against the carb body,
and the diaphragm goes towards the outside

Poulan Pro 220 saw starts & runs fine when finger on throttle, will not stay at idle. Rplaced plug & same issues.

All you need to do is try to adjust the throttle idle speed or else a cheat would be to tighten the cable which means the cable will be pulling very slightly the throttle which means it will remain running when u release throttle.

Chain saw will idle, but not run at full throtle

First, check the air filter and clean it well. Then make sure the spark plug is clean and gapped properly.

Then prime, start it up, and allow it to idle, even using the trigger to make it fast idle if you can. Using a small thin screwdiver, turn the high speed idle screw on the carb in small increments to the right, kepping the speed up on the trhrottle.

The idea is to screw it out until it sputters, then screw it a half turn back in. If it doesn't smooth out when turning it to the right, try going to the left.

Afterwards you may find it doesn't run at low throttle well. If not, try the same thing starting to turn left until it smooths out. If it doesn't, screw to the right. Again, the idea is to go until it sounds rough, then back off a half turn.

You should be able to adjust it to the point where you can open the throttle all the way with smooth sure throttle increase.

Need to adjust 3 screws. I already try to adjust them, but it runs too fast or dies. Cannot get it right. I know I have to turn in low and high all the way and then unscrew about 1 1/4 turn back. Where to...

ok here goes. you are write to wind out the screws 1 1/4 turns +/-

you have 2 scews for the carb jets, the other is the idle speed adjuster. it has a conical shaft which simply open the throtle more as you screw it in. wind this in so that it will run a bit fast . if you can, start the saw. Without pulling the throttle, slowly turn the "low" jet in , or out untill the saw runs faster. if it starts running too fast, adjust the idle speed scew down a little. do this untill it is running best. adjust the idle speed down until the cahin just stops moving. the low speed is now set. now pull the trigger and run the saw full throttle. adjust the "high" jet in or out slightly until it is running fastest. Note..if you turn either screw in too far, the engine will stall.

I hope this helps,

Another thing that could cause problems is if there is an air gap between the carb and the cylinder. check that fixing screws are tight. check that the gasket is ok. some saws have a small rubber manifold between the carb and the cylinder. if this manifold is perferated or damaged,it will let air into the engine, and therefore will not run right.
good luck.

Honda 1300c backfire through carb at wide open throttle. I have open up the exhust and rejetted the carb . the bike will run fine up to mid throttle or 65 mph but if you accellerate hard or go to wide open...

Try balancing ans syncronising the carbs.
BALANCE THE CARBS
Turn the throttle screw on the LEFT carb one half turn inward. Now start the engine and get it warmed up. With the engine running, remove the RIGHT spark plug wire. Adjust the idle speed on the left carb to the point where the engine just can't quite stay running and dies. Now put the loose spark plug wire back into place.

Now turn the throttle screw on the RIGHT carb one half turn inward. Restart and rev the engine. Next, remove the LEFT spark plug wire. Adjust the idle speed on the right carb to the point where the engine just can't quite stay running and dies. Now put the loose spark plug wire back into place.

Turn the idle screw on each carb EXACTLY ONE QUARTER turn outward and restart the engine. The engine will be probably be idling very fast. Adjust both the idle screws equally from this point to get to the desired idle speed.

SYNCHRONIZE THE CARBS
Remove the air filter and rubber fittings to allow you to see into the throat of both carbs. You may need a mirror to see inside. You need to be able to see the slides go up and down when you twist the throttle. Now turn the fitting where the cable goes into each carb such that there is just a bit of slack in the cable, 1/16" is plenty. Lock ONE of the cable adjusters down tight. All further adjustments will be made on the other carb.

With the motor turned off twist the throttle very slowly while looking at the slides. Both slides need to begin lifting at the exact same moment. If the slides don't raise at the exact same time then slowly twist the throttle until the locked adjuster slide just barely starts to move. Hold the throttle still and turn the adjuster on the other carb so that the slide on that carb just barely starts to move also. Now recheck the slide movement timing. Do this process until the slides on both carbs begin to raise at the EXACT same moment. Lock down the loose adjuster and re-check the slides.

Please rate this solution. Thanks!
