I think that saw C4 Fun has shown might be the 034/036 I had .To tell the trutrh if it is I never paid much attention because I only ran it for a few minutes at a time,several times so it never got hot enough to lean out . However it seems among my cache of saws I have several leakers so that...

---or old Macs too I suppose .

The only thing I can thing of with the flywheel hitting the magnets is perhaps it fired the "trigger voltage " too soon . Weather that's it or not,don't really know . Most coil air gaps are 12 thou give or take . I won't get into points because almost noone uses them except old coots like...

Well I'll be damned

I'll get the number of the stuff at work .I know it will lock bigger than 1 inch .There's some other stuff they use to hold bushing in with also that will fill larger gaps but 30 years ago it was 45 bucks for a tiny little bottle . Fact I have some shrink fit compound that probabley will work...

It's kind of odd stuff .If it's applied in a thin layer such as thread locker in ten minutes you couldn't budge it with a pipe wrench .If you pour it out in a small puddle or in a container it stays liquid for days .Gets thicker of course over time but not hard .Actually you can't hold it in a...

Oh say let me interject a thought here .Loctite is a product which is used internationally about like WD-40 it's everywhere .You can do a Google of Loctite and get the low down of what a praticular product is compatable with or is not plus the application recomendations .

Red loctite must be aerobic else it would set up in the bottle . The stuff we use at work comes in one gallon bottles .Spill one of those and you talk about a mess ,wow . The Loctite 5900 which is used in place of gaskets comes in 55 gallon drums and is pumped at 3000 PSI .They blew a line...

I haven't used nail polish for years myself .However on some of the real old saws with Tilley HL carbs that stuff was used as a sealant and in some cases a thread locker . In rebuilding these things some 50 years old I've never seen any deteriation of the stuff . Then again maybe finger nail...

I'm not actually certain it was leaking around the welch plugs . I had sent a carb to Eddie at Stihl in Va Beach that they tested .If I recall that one had some internal leaks but not due to a flaw or a crack in the carb casting nor around the plugs . I'll be the first to admit that I know...

Maybe the finger nail polish but red loctite will stand up to freon .Ethanol I doubt would faze it a bit .Now you should let it dry for a day before it's put in service . Again before I forget .If anybody tries this it might not be a bad idea to blow the carb down with air then use acetone to...

Before I forget .A real good sealant that has been used for years is fingernail polish .Doesn't make any difference what color .This goes back to the days of Permatex number 2 and Indian head gasket shellac .I know,I lived them .:)

Here's a picture of the two styles of the carbs that I know about .There might be more for all I know .The other pic shows the q-tip deal plus the fact I did gob some red loctite in one of the holes I had to clean out before it set up . I'm not saying this is the magic cure all but it did...

I used a q-tip like a little paint brush .Kind of pulled out a little bit of fiber so it came to a point .You have to be carefull because there are a few vents or jets of some kind you certainly don't want to plug with the loctite .I just sealed around the welch plug and what looked to be a...

I'm not exactly sure what the deal with Zama is .Some time ago the company was Japanese owned now I think owned by Stihl and based out of China . Hard to follow .Just like Tillotson which at one time was 85 miles north of me in Toledo Ohio ,now in county Kerry Ireland . As far as that model of...

Flea bay keeps changing their policy every time there's a full moon . On that carb which I still don't fully understand evidentley there is an accelerater pump .Probabley because as a trim saw the 200's go from idle to WOT about a zillion times a day .From what I gather that can be the source...

Have you tried sealing around the welch plug in the diaphragm fuel chamber with red Loctite ?

Without seeing that thing my guess is the diaphragm is starting to get stiff . As such the movement of the diaphragm is resticted and doesn't fill the chamber completely . Raising the lever compensates for this somewhat .However it might not be a bad idea to rekit that thing when you get a...

It was an HT Walbro but to fit it would be a pain the rear . However low and behold in all my junk danged if I didn't find a good diaphragm for the Zama . Hot dang old Al is in the 200 T club with a runner and a fine one it is .:D

It was entirely my fault for not paying attention .I assumed a C1 kit would fit everything ,not so . The 200T carb is a model C1Q s32 which does take an rb-69 kit . The other dinky carb was for an Echo hedge trimmer with a model C1 U -k27B carb . Good heavens there must 50 variations of this...
