Has high flow only. How to make it use a low flow brush cutter?

Followed suggestion in previous post and ordered D starter handle and received this am. Replaced cord and was oh so careful about not letting starter spring unwind. Ran new cord up thru D handle and knotted. Second pull and knot pulled thru new handle. Fortunately did not unwind spring...

Great…just ordered one. Add said Oregon but close enough. Ordered new 3.5mm pull cord also. Might as well change both at the same time. Thanks for the idea.

Even way back I’ve always had to have the saw on the ground holding with my foot. Compression has always been STRONG. My sthil 311 has the compression release and it makes it so much easier.

Had this saw for a very long time. Always a bear to get started the first time. Compression makes it almost impossible for the old guy to get more than a click on each pull. Does not have a compression release. Plug out it spins very easy. How can I reduce some compression to get it to spin...

After warm up engine will run “away” if you do not use any controls. If you keep something moving then ok. Looked at a bunch of YouTube about governor but can’t find my particular motor. Extremely difficult to get at. What to look for if I get the inspection plate off?

It was frozen. Sorta works now but still sluggish. Thanks for the looks.

The weather has gotten down to one degree which is very cold for n ga. Not above freezing for several days. I’ve let it run for a good bit but think the hyd screen maybe frozen, clogged to the point oil won’t flow. Pulling the filter on one of these is more than a pain. Hopefully it will...

Had the jerky lift problem for some time. Utube showed problem. Replaced crumbled seal in piston in sleeve under seat. Worked lift arms a bit to get rod properly seated in back/bottom of piston and bolted back up ok. Hydro fluid full. Flow control valve in middle position. Lift won’t lift...

My 1920 has a separate power steering reservoir right side of engine up high. About 3” dia x 10” black, with rubber cap on top.

OP Filter seemed to be in good shape, changed anyhow. There was an honest 1/16” thick crust completely covered the screen. Used a dental pick to scrape out, then blow gun.

OP HERE. Thanks for all of the replies and YouTube. Took the carb off, and the plate that has just one screw(at least on this carb) there is a super fine screen, about the size of a pea. It was COMPLETELY clogged over. Dental pick and some air and all is well. Just got to tinker with...

This unit doesn’t have a screen, just a little baffle screwed on the side of the muffler. Tried running with baffle on and off, no difference. Checked fuel lines and can see no cracks. Ran H and L screws in most any combination and no constant high speed. Seems like the H screw only has...

Opps, fat fingers it’s a 193 and it’s no ethanol.

Less than 2 years, I’m 77 and don’t run them much. Yes to ethanol.
