I haven’t received my birthday present from the thread folks yet. I know y’all were working on something special. Only a few days behind so I’m not worrying,, maybe y’all were doing it combines with Christmas for a bigger gift [emoji23]

Should we dash his hopes and dreams yet?

Happy belated birthday Lonestar! I'm sure I can find a ms661 box for you and ship it down your way. Can't guarantee the contents of the box though, might be able to throw a plastic poulan in there for you. Looks close enough to a stihl if you squint hard enough.

Hi

 

[Boomer 87]

If anyone has any poulan 3400 parts let me know thanks

Alright I am LOSING MY MIND working on my 056!!!!!

Saw was just completely overhauled from bearings up, seals, conservative Mastermind style P&P on the cylinder, stock piston in excellent shape with Caber rings, new lines, all new wiring. No air leaks anywhere.

The carb constantly floods. Its a Tillotson 118A, not a B, and has been rebuild 3 times now with Tillotson replacement parts. Transfer bar is set perfectly, no issues with movement, diaphragm is properly hooked into it. Seals are all aligned properly. Welch plug (singular, only one on it) replaced and sealed with clear nail polish.

Attempted to start and it pours fuel out the carb. Checked my H/L screws (1 and 3/4 respectively) Verified everything is setup correctly. Turned the highspeed all the way in attempt to start more. STILL pouring fuel out the carb. Appears to be dripping out of the main/high speed jet. WTF?!?!? This is not a pass through style jet as it is sealed on top.

Someone help me!

I once had a similar carb out of an old Echo, I don't remember if it was a Tillotson or its Walbro clone but one of the mixture screws seats was so worn from years of continuous hamfisted adjustments it would leak from there. No way to fix that mess but a new carburetor.

Happy Birthday Longstar. [emoji512]

Try and try and try again, but to no avail. I guess i’m buying a new carb. Looks like the Walbro is better carb

Merry Christmas every body
