Carburetor removed the top of the saw were air cleaner is located. removed air cleaner and all plastic covering once again did a thorough cleaning. removed old Carburetor with purge. thorough clean Carburetor Area. Reinstalled new Carburetor with purge W47. Tightening Carburetor to factory specification. Reinstalled new air cleaner. all plastic covering Filled up with new mixed fuel added new bar oil. after 3 to 4 pulls saw started right up did some small adjustments on the Carburetor which was easy now saw runs like a new saw. doing a thorough cleaning make life easier to when doing this kind of repair. I recommend adjusting the Carburetor as needed they will wear out if you don't take care of them keeping clean Mixed gas in them help as well. Some folk don't think about it while out cutting wood but dirt can still get in from around the fuel cap good idea to clean around the cap before refilling the fuel that will save lot Carburetor troubles and Issues. I any case I purchased my replacement parts from eReplacementParts.com and everything went as I planed and hope for. thanks to eReplacementParts.com
