To start with. Be sure the way that the carb clamping assembly is put together is as it is in this IPL ...I have seen this put together wrongly. Also look the filter over for any damage ..sometimes not visible at first glance.
It’s assembled correctly. Maybe it wasn’t very tight from factory. No damage to filter.
The filter itself seems not to be a week point from my experience with saws Iv had dealings with in the UK.
Thanks. Pic helped. Now that I looked at the pic most of the fines were trapped against the metal lip, meaning they hadn’t gone up the lip to the filter then back down the filter to the carb. I just saw the fines, not paying attention to where they were located. Since I’m paranoid I’ll probably still use grease for peace of mind. Thank you.
Glad to be of some help. Chances you do this anyhow..but, I always split the filter and then use raw fuel to wash the 2 parts then blow it from the inside out to clean and dry .
Brake cleaner and low pressure air.
Just one other thing ...you keep the pre filter clean as well ? ..(chances you do)
Very cool! Looks great!
I ain’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, I pulled the cover and don’t see a pre-filter on mine!!! I also posted a vid of my 9010 that @Miller Mod Saws did for me. I love it, thanks Carl. Still first tank of fuel so still dialing it in. Can’t wait until it’s broke in.
