Default Re: Chainsaw masacre

It was the kill switch I forgot I had turned it on. Duh ...

The second intake kills the engine if I open it up. The carb had a swing that only allowed it to open when the engine was running on high. It goes directly into the cylinder that I am sure of. The cooling fan is ducted differently. I can replace the shroud on this one and I will before I run it.

The 31cc carb seems to work fine today since I turned the kill switch off. I will have to make an air filter for it but it seems to be just fine. I'm really surprised. Thanks for all the help and the information.

Three and a half turns seems to be right for the low end adjustment. I had the carb mounted screwy is why the thing was giving me such a fit. I had to cut some of the round choke plate to make the carb's throttle control work right but it didn't seem to hurt anything. Since it's running and takes gas I'm going to leave well enough alone.

Thanks guys as always the help is greatly appreciated.
