The pin is pressed into the carb body. The white insert is probably a friction plug that presses against the needle.

Replace that all-steel blade with a good carbide and then you won't need your chainsaws anymore. I really like the Forester non-vented carbide blades (you'll bend any vented blades).

It is a range limiter. There is nothing missing. You could slip some fuel line over it, because they do wear into the aluminum over time if it spends a lot of its life actually limiting the anti-vibe range.

I can confirm that the 7310 has the same threads as Husqvarna. The threads on the others is different, coarser, I think.

Several weeks ago I replaced the scored piston in a 500i with a Meteor. The operator used it for the first time a couple of days ago and it scored again. This isn't the first time this saw has been problematic--it had a full top end rebuild under warranty (by another shop) shortly after it was...

I suppose it could be both the original and Amazon coil are bad.

Could you post a video of it?

I thought it may have just been my computer that was messed up, but it's good to know it wasn't just me.

At this point it is probably worth more to you than to anyone else. Unless you have a good eye for mechanics, buying used can be quite a gamble.

Did you come to any conclusion?

If I remember correctly, these are limited to the lower 13k range. However, if the saw is running lean, blipping the throttle repeatedly can confuse the coil and let it rev wide open. I've already had them over 16k. If someone was really good with electronics, I'm sure there is a circuit that...

I had problems with fuel boiling inside my saw when I was using it on Saturday (high of 87*). It wasn't fuel I had bought, so I'm not sure how old it was, but it could have been more of a winter blend with too much butane in it, which is what is added to make fuel volatile.

You need that 2/55 A/C. 2 windows down, 55mph.

I have an Echo twin-cylinder CST-610 that I'm desperate to get running. I found an issue with the original coil, but I think I had already damaged it otherwise before finding the loose connection at the ground to the laminations. The first picture is the resistance from the kill wire to the...
