CARBURETTOR Carburettor WARNING! The fuel that is used in the chainsaw poses the following hazards: 1. The fluid and its fumes are poisonous. 2. Can cause skin irritation. 3. Is highly inflammable. Description The diagrams with this description do not show the actual carburettor on the chainsaw.
Page 27
CARBURETTOR Function The carburettor operates differently in the following operating states: • Cold start • Idling • Part throttle • Full throttle In cold start mode (fig. 4), the choke butterfly (D) is completely closed. This increase the vacuum in the carburettor so that fuel is sucked more easily from the diffuser jets (E, F and G).
Page 28
CARBURETTOR Dismantling WARNING! The fuel that is used in the chainsaw poses the following hazards: 1. The fluid and its fumes are poisonous. 2. Can cause skin irritation. 3. Is highly inflammable. Removal See fig. 8. 1. Remove the cylinder cover and air filter. 2.

CARBURETTOR Cleaning and inspection 2. There is no play in the throttle and choke butterflies. WARNING! The fuel that is used in the chainsaw 3. The needle valve and its lever arm are not worn at M poses the following hazards: in fig.
Page 30
CARBURETTOR Reassembly 8. Carry out pressure testing. See next page. Assembly Where no figure is referred to, see exploded diagram 12 on the previous page. Complete cleanliness is essential when reassembling the carburettor. The smallest dirt particle can cause running problems.
Page 31
CARBURETTOR Pressure testing Pressure testing should be carried out with the carburettor fully assembled. Testing should always be carried out after the carburettor has been repaired, but can also be performed for trouble shooting before dismantling. Refer to fig. 17 and carry out the test as follows: 1.
Page 32
CARBURETTOR Adjustment WARNING! The guide bar, chain and clutch cover must be fitted before the saw is star- ted, otherwise the clutch may come loose causing personal injury. WARNING! Wear ear defenders when making ad- justments with the motor running. WARNING! Do not use the saw until it has been adjusted so that the chain is still.
