When they siliconed the carb block on it filled the impulse hole aswell. Bet the thing only ran because the block was falling off and giving a pulse ? Unreal. Got the blob of crap outta the hole tho.

If it were me, I'd pull that cylinder off before installing the intake manifold. Goes on much, much easier. There is a gasket between the cylinder and manifold. I also use a very thin layer of Dirko being sure not to block the impulse hole.
Good advice on pulling the cylinder, gives you a chance to check the rings and piston, then you know if a problem is just starting or not. You have 4 bolts to go.
Go base gasket delete while you're at it.

Usually lots of room to pull the base gasket on these? Thx
Most of the time.

Yep those counter vibe series of saws all had a lot of squish.

Has anyone ever run across a brass plug in place of a governor in a HS 176 carb?

I'll take a look at my 5400 tomorrow and get back to you
Can someone tell me what this gov does and how it works, I know where it is on the carb but I don't know anything about it. Is it a good thing or a bad thing. Any help gets a thanks

Have a look in the pioneer thread. We just covered this yesterday. I was curious aswell.

Was common to blockoff the governor on the carb. I simply did it by removing the plug and inserting a piece of something eg. pie plate material, into the opening and replacing the plug. Made it easier to tune. Not all carbs were governed. there were two carbs available(forgot #), one was governed and the other wasn't.

The brass plug would simply remove the governed function of the saw , I presume.Has anyone ever run across a brass plug in place of a governor in a HS 176 carb?

My 5200 carb is governed but the 4200 carb I installed isn't.

Interestingly enough this carb is off a 4200 which was supposed to have the un governed 168 buy I got it with the 172

When I got my 5400 one of the first things I did was get a 4200 carb ,haven't put it on yet but it's ready to go
When a gov goes bad I just block them off with a bb. So far it has fixed them.
She's a runnerdont come down here n smack me though i used the old crank seals.... There ok so far its running very well.
Good job, you saved that one from the scrap pile.
So what was the final crankshaft end play that you ended up with, assuming you had to adjust the bearings inward? Metric unit of measure is fine, lol.
Did you use thin plastic sheets on each side to set it?
