Archer on eBay has good prices, and sometimes they have packaged deals.

I have worked on way too many 180s and have owned at least a half dozen, and they all take around 8 to 10 pulls to get running if they have sat a while. It is just the way they are. Once they have been started, they will fire right up with just a few pulls.

Did you replace the carb with an OEM or an aftermarket? Like Coupe mentioned, those cheap Chinese carbs are hit and miss. Also, on some of the Echo carbs, there is a tiny black plastic plug on the fuel line side that is removable, and with a tiny flat-blade screwdriver, you can adjust the carb.

The carburetor on an SRM-225 has no hi/low setting screws. Did you take the tiny black plastic plug out on the side of the carb to adjust it??

My IPL shows 2 covers, 1122 080 2110 and 1122 080 2102. You may need to find a service manual to see which one you need.

Are you sure the spring clip is on correctly? It is easy to get them on backwards. Have you tried flip it over?

You should not be using a Diamond wheel on a steel chain. You need to use a CBN wheel that is made for steel. Diamond is for the Carbide chain. https://www.diamondwheelinc.com/chain-saw-wheels.html

Did you put a light coating of Dirko or other sealant around the outside of the seals before installing?

This is what Stihl's leak-down test says, Use rubber bulb to pump air into the engine housing until the gauge shows a pressure of 0.4 bar (5.8 psi). If this pressure remains constant for at least 20 seconds, The engine housing is airtight, so I would think if yours is holding 5 psi...

If it is a new saw, I would take it back to a dealer; otherwise, you will void the warranty.

I had one years ago. As long as you have a big enough saw, they will move a lot of weight. I had mine on a Stihl 046. They are very heavy though.

You can also use a hammer and a punch to knock it loose. There are square indentations between each clutch spring to put the punch.

What model of carburetor do you have on that 4010? The only carb. Echo shows on their parts look up it is made by them and is a GC-03-1. But the jets and caps look different from yours. Please let me know, this is bugging me, lol.
