    How many degrees timing advance MS 400?

    Other than slightly lighter and possibly better ergonomics no reason to trade for new one but maybe just own one of each.

    Warming it up some and spraying a good penetrant like areokroil or liquid wrench may help loosen it also.

    It will be flush with bottom of the chamber on the zama that’s on it. Odds are that’s correct anyway and the carb is just plugged, if you don’t have an ultrasonic cleaner just be careful around the check valves ect with too much pressure from air because they can get damaged. The two dark spots...

    The carb is more than likely plugged especially if it was ethanol gas, I’ve gotten quite a few next to new saws that people bought for a storm tree. The saw cuts one tree or something gos on shelf for 2-3 years and another storm hits. Saw won’t start gos to shop and they quote 100$ plus parts to...

    The carb needs cleaning and rebuild, they do have a special tool for adjusting the jets. I usually pull the limiters on them, to get them out you need to drill the little pins out of carb housing so the limiters can be pulled out past pin end. I would need to look in the book to see what tool is...

    O scott I’m sure runs his shop same as my uncle did his machine shop next door, while everyone is in it to make money and survive some don’t sweat the little stuff. There’s going to be jobs that don’t go right and you make little to no money on but lots of times it’s due to unexpected...

    Honestly not a fan just because they charge a premium for 50-70% of what guys on here get depending on model of saw. Also now buckin is pushing the heck out of them and yes it’s marketing, I lump a 400-500$ re-handled ax and a ripsaw ported saw in the same category. Apparently you never saw the...

    Population in town is small enough that wouldn’t take long to figure out who hit it.

    I never have seen that carb series that I can recall but not sure why it would be better or worse than the others for it unless Venturi size is bigger or something. Most 044/046 run a tillitson hs series I believe or the walbro hd or a zama. But I may be wrong because I think all my 044/046 saws...

    Stumped on Stihl BR450 Blower Stopping

    Sounds like faulty vent to me, shaking the blower would pressurize the tank to a point. I’m leaning towards tank vent and of filter. I’m sure you changed filter but question is was it oem or aftermarket? Some cheap filters don’t flow properly and or come apart inside.

    Do you pull the chain around the bar by hand a few times after tightening the nuts down? Also if rim or drum sprocket is warm it can cause the chain to go loose/tight/loose as it gos around the bar. Chain moving at idle could be anything from to high and idles speed because of carb adjustment...

    Might be more than carb work, to him it may be a carb but could be pinhole in fuel line, seals, intake boot, carb, tank vent or any combination. If he’ll let you pull the muffler to look at cylinder then maybe even start quick to see how it acts. Then after a look over depending how nice it is...
