Jonsered 2065

[Garcien]

I have a 2065 jonsered which has the idle adjust screw vibrating out. It is the screw the throttle cable rest against. Has anyone had a similar problem? Would loctite work?
Thanks

Possibly but how worn out are the threads, does the screw wobble about if side pressure is alternately applied. If the threads are still quite tight then Loctite will work.

Are you running it without the screwdriver alignment tube that fits between interior of the airbox wall and over the three adjusting screws of the carb?

A lot of these carbs have a nylon "nub" in the screw block on the carb. These are designed to allow adjustment but hold the screw in place. If yours is missing the screw won't stay in place.

Hi,
Thank you for the information. There is no movement with side pressure applied. I will try Loctite and see what happens.

Hi,

Thanks for the information. There was residual debris on the screw. In was a dark grey. It appeared to be like teflon tape.

Hi,

No the alignment rubber tub is in place.
Thanks

For Loctite to work correctly the carb and screw threads will need to be cleaned up of all oily residue, brake clean works really well for degreasing these small parts. When completely dried off the Loctite will adhere and do its retaining job.
