[color=darkblue:1200714cdc]I posted this request for help in the Stationary engine section , the regulars must be on holiday as I have had no luck so far .
Seems to me that many of you know their way around small engines so I thought I would ask here .
[/color:1200714cdc]
I really need this saw to use for an essential job at my farm .
It was given to me as a non runner I believe it is the same as the Husqvarna 16 '' model with 95cc engine .
I have cleaned the plug , filters ; including the fuel filter in the tank and dismantled the carburrettor and cleaned it as well .
I can start the machine easily enough after some fuel is poured into the carburettor , two or three pulls sees it chug away but it cuts out almost straight away . I can get it to run a little longer and to quite high rpm if I trickle fuel into the open carb .
It has a Tillotson carburettor made in Ireland , the diaphragm has no holes in it but it does seem a little baggy , fuel lines are clear . I just can't get it to suck enough fuel to keep running . It is not a commonly used machine in Australia so any help or suggestions will be gratefully received .
