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.

Any luck on fixing the issue?

I have ordered but not yet received a new cable. I'll see if the brass end is tighter into the carb adjustment hole.

On another note, while removing the carb I noticed an "extra" screw lodged in the air intake hole in the chassis. Removing a single screw and cover plate I was able to remove this extra self tapping screw. It appears to be one that could be used to assemble the handle. I have all the handle screws so this might have been installed during initial assembly. This is also the reason the saw ran very rich. The screw was blocking most of the air intake hole.
Searching the ipl to find the foam air filter does not reveal a listed part. Anyone know the correct part number for this filter?
