I just tore this 019T down for repairs....it's been sitting since I shelved it almost 4 years ago. Finally got around to tinkering on it. Replaced the bad crank seals, did some mild port work on the exhaust port, and opened up muffler outlet. One of the big problems this saw had was a small twig that somehow made it past the amazingly stout air filter (sarcasm) and got stuck in the reed valve, and was holding the valve opened....
Saw is running great at idle, but bogs down and has to be feathered to get full throttle, which is weak and seems lean.
The bore was spotless, the piston and ring was in excellent condition as well. As for my port work, I opened the exhaust up slightly (side to side) and opened up the chamber on the mufiler side, but didn't change the top of the port on the piston side, just slightly arched the bottom. The saw has a reed valve and it's one of those Zama carburetors with the single adjusting screw. Is there any any carbs with both H and L adjustment screws that will fit this model? I'll have to make a hole in the case for the second screw, but that's ok.....
I'd like to replace the fuel lines, but I looked for lines for this model and didn't see any online, at least on ebay.
This saw will be a backup to my Stihl MS201TC and my Echo CS355T. I like having several toppers when I'm on a job just in case something happens to one or more of them.
Any help would be appreciated fellas.....
