Homelite C51 settings

[oldmanphil]

I have an old Homelite C51 in good shape, but I can't get it to keep running. Anybody have a manual or know the high and low carb settings or how to adjust them for this saw?

PDF files:

Well I'm not the only one who contributes to the PDF files on that site. I do have a couple 3 ring books full of IPS's and some factory service material that I plan to put into PDF fils this winter and send to the Samlaurenforum and Osflea in Austrailia. I feel that if they are available on the internet someone can use them and hopefully not destroy a perfectly good saw from not knowing what they are doing. OK, talk later. Lewis Brander.
