STIHL Intellicarb Carburetors

[Mastermind]

I'd think that most people can tell that "little yellow friends" is humor, at least that would be to hope for.
If you know what I wrote, why do you then claim I wrote something else?
The solenoid was obviously not in the ultrasonic, where do you see I said so?
Inspecting bearings and cleaning a carb is waste of time? Really? Go tell that to anyone, that aren't too keen on failure.

I'm in no way bothered by people who can't read or write, I generally feel sorry for them, unless they're adequately socially retarded, to be a burden to deal with. What I do take from it usually, is that here we have somebody, who had a few hard years in third grade.

What a great pissing contest you're running here at this forum. I'm confident you guys are doing well in life in general.
Have fun, and don't forget to look up the definition of "retarded".

Take a break.

Ok?

It brings lots of benefits. The average guy can not tune a carb to save their lives for starters.

These folks that supposedly live in the bush or other extreme climates sure seem to have a lot of spare time on their hands to do un-essential shït.

But they hate problems so he’s preventing that bearing failure by looking at it.

With a blower the load is constant and they are rev limited so what I do is set to the factory rpm and run it to see what it does. Often at factory spec they are still on the rich side so I lean them out to just below the rev limited RPM. I then set the LS jet just rich enough they start easily.
Redmax actually have tuning bulletins for their trimmers and blowers which are very good.

I've always used my ears to determine RPM changes for setting mixture. Using a tachometer would be a new approach for me. I'd like to try it sometime. Which tachometer do you use?

 

[EFSM]

I used to set engines by tachometer. However, that cannot take into account a worn or extra-well made engine. I think if you know what you're doing, tuning by ear cannot be beaten.

The DTI Fast Tach.

Tuning by ear is fine on saws that ain't RPM limited. But the limited units are a different deal. I tune then till they just touch the RPM limiter by watching for the break point on the tach.....then go a fuzz leaner. Yes......a FUZZ is a technical term.

True. I will use a tach on something like a 372. Most of what I'm working on is not truly limited, although most saws at least retard the timing.

That's a wireless tach so does the engine cover have to be off to expose the flywheel and a Sharpie mark drawn on the flywheel?

Nope. Just point it at the plug.....it shows rpm on the readout.

It’s a tach not a timing light, no it will read the spark as long as you hold it somewhere close to wire. Called an inductance tach and you can use a wire on lots of them too which will make them refresh faster depending on brand and how old ect.

Any husqvarna with a blue coil is rpm limited I do believe.

Not 288 and 242.
They have blue coils but no rpm limit

Very close in measurement to a Dall hair, IIRC?

Limited can be done by ear in wood, if done from a rich condition where it is four stroking while cutting. Start leaning it out until it just cleans up while cutting and you have it. This way you get it done before the coil cuts out which confuses the situation by tach or ear if done from a lean condition.

Wow! That's simple.

I still have my timing light but I don't have the car anymore. It was a 1970 Mercury Cougar XR7 with the 351C-4V mated to an FMX trans.

Is M-Tronic and Intellicarb the same thing?
