Brief backstory: I fixed a buddy's 61 Rancher and when I returned it he said he had a big husky he wanted me to fix as well. The big Husky was a 2100, "It hasn't been run in awhile so I want you to check it out, no rush." The green weenie was disintegrating and the fuel tank stank of bad gas but aside from that it checked out. I put in a new tillotson carb kit, set the metering lever according to spec, put in a new fuel line/filter, and replaced the weenie. Now for the problem, I can't get it to consistently idle right for the life of me. (Full disclosure, while I was writing this I realized I should check the drum bearing and clutch spring, I'll report back when I do). Either the chain will be spinning (not twitching) or the saw will die. I've thought I had it dialed in, the chain is only twitching and the saw's idled for awhile now and sounds good, then it'll just die. I don't want to pressure/vacuum test it, but I'm not sure what else to do. The top end will sound perfect, it doesn't "scream" or sound funny when it idles, it just won't idle.
