Stihl 011

[PT81man]

Hello again,
I was given this old 011 as payment for some work I did. I got it to start and it runs quite well. The problem is the throttle advance latch does not advance the throttle sufficiently. I have no problem starting the saw if I hold the throttle manually but it does take a bit of dexterity to hold the throttle and pull the starter cord.
I looked at the advance mechanism and there is movement but it might be insufficient.
Any thoughts?

I'm not expert at fixing saws, but I have an 011 AVT (and the high idle throttle lock works) so I took some pictures of the carb with and without the throttle lock on.


Photo above shows the butterfly valve in the normal idle position (on the left), and on the Right with the throttle lock engaged.


Photo above shows the throttle linkage? in the normal idle position (on the left), and on the Right with the throttle lock engaged.


Not sure if that will help, but it's at least a point of reference.
