Not sure, it screams at 3/4 throttle and tries to die at full throttle

If it tries to die at WOT then its not enough fuel, open you hi side like a bunch and see if it still dies, i just went through something similar on my 360 which has the same carb, it would idle fine if you slowly started to open the throttle it would speed up right until it should switch over to hi side fuel and blahhh bog and die. It ended up being packed full of S#$t under the hi side welch plug in the carb.

Well I will test that then, I might be replacing Welch plugs in the near future

Also on the hs tillotson the metering diaphragm side the gasket goes down first then the metering diaphragm its the exact opposite on the other side pumping diaphragm first on the carb then the gasket then the cover, also make sure your lever for the metering diaphragm is level with the carb surface around it.maybe just a freckle up .

 

[Kensie1988]

I'll be sure to check for that when replacing the plugs

So does this look like I need s new recoil spring? The recoil in the Dayton stopped working.

 

[Boomer 87]

Yes,there us supposed to be a hook on the end .

I don't know how brittle that steel is, but you may be able to bend a new hood in the end for it rather than trying to find a part. That's what I would try to do. It's already broken, can't make it much worse.

 

[Boomer 87]

Its worth a shot but the springs are brittle it will prolly break if you try to bend it, you can try heating it before you bend it

That's what I was thinking but I wanted to check with someone who knows more about it than I do, im only 2 months into this new obsession of mine lol

I have heated them and bent them several times with good results

I agree with Boomer that you should heat it first. Oh and for only being 2 months in, you have quite the collection going already. Quite a few more than me lol.

 

[Boomer 87]

Pretty soon youll have 70 saws and dont know how on earth you got there

 

[Boomer 87]

Look at the spring on the 306 that will tell you what shape the other needs to be.

 

[Kensie1988]

Will do, I'll hand it to Poulan, their flywheels come off easy.

 

[astnmacgto]

I've bent many springs on macs, if you get the right shape it's just fine

 

[Kensie1988]

If I can get this 056 for about $350 would that be a fair price for one that is in good running condition? I know it's not a good price because they are only worth around $400 max.

 

[Kensie1988]

It's got about a 28"-32" bar, full wrap handle, and dual bucking dogs already on it.

 

[Boomer 87]

Looks like a nice one. can you look it over first or is it ebay deal

 

[Boomer 87]

check out the bow bar brother got me
