Give it a slight tweak while running it...that will let you know!

I'll try that on the idle screw when I get a chance. I didn't realize that was an idle screw until seeing the picture when I posted it.

 

[LAWN BOY]

that was indeed the idle screw and I got it idleing lower/better now. But it’s still hesitant when given full throttle quickly.

Richening up the low tends to help with that hesitation.

You probably need one of these tools, they work great on some carbs that have a sleeve over the screws, when you push it in, it pushes back the sleeve allowing you to turn the screws:

Is that tool still what your thinking after I posted a picture of the h and l screws?

Here are the adjustment screws…. Just now realizing/wondering if the shiny Phillips one labeled T is an idle screw…. At first glance I assumed it was just a screw holding the plastics together.

Hard to tell for sure, but in the pic the L screw looks like it might be a "D" head, see 2nd driver from left in this link.

Thank you! I’ll buy a set off eBay.

You may want to take a closer look at the adjustment screws to make sure they have a flat before buying a set. They're pretty cheap and I've found they come in handy on other OPE as well, but no need to lay out the money if there is no flat on the heads and you don;t otherwise need them...

I looked and you were right that they are Ds.

You can't go wrong with getting the set....you never know when you will come across one of the other funky types!

I was offered an allis chalmers 75a and Homelite 150 for my bicentennial Poulan 76…

As tempting as it would be to turn one saw into two, that bicentennial saw has more value than the 75a and 150.

Just got off the phone with an old man. Sounds like we are doing a trade deal on Monday in which I’ll get an operable Poulan wild thing and a project Stihl ms391.

 

[LAWN BOY]

My uncle said my late birthday present will be his Stihl ms250 that needs to be rebuilt.

 

[LAWN BOY]

My dad passed on to me his 55 rancher today. Needs a carburetor and choke.

Glad to see you are getting some REAL SAWS

 

[LAWN BOY]

The old man showed up from Craigslsit today and we made the deal. I have him 2 push mower projects, 1 weed whacker project, and an ice auger project, for these 2 saws. The wild thing ran last on Labor Day. The Stihl 391 has new rings and a new coil but it might be the wrong coil, he only got it to run 1 time.

Be careful with that wild thing. Thems are beasts!

I want one for the sole purpose of making it into a "REAL" wild thing! LOL

I shipped one somewhere to a guy for a build off. Never did hear how it went. I could look back through PM's to find out. Just glad to have that powerful of a saw out of here. A 2094 is more than enough, no need for the extra power of the wild thing.
