Stihl 024 problem

    As the title says I could do with a bit of help getting my Stihl Woodboss 024AV running properly again.

    My problem is the saw will not run right. It starts cold fine but will not tick over properly. When I try to start it when (fully) hot it will only start with choke on full. It will rev for a second or two, then I switch choke off and it will start on second pull every time. It will then run fine on full throttle when cutting but will only tick over for about 5 seconds and will die if I try to rev it.

    I am then back to full choke, it fires and stops, off choke and it fires on second pull and runs at full throttle fine but won't tick over and dies if I let the revs go low. Then it full choke again, off choke, second pull ............. well you get the picture.

    So far I have put in a full carb kit, replaced fuel line and filter, replaced the impulse line and replaced the carb manifold boot, the old one had a split and I thought it might have been the problem, but seemingly not.

    I'm going to strip the carb again in the morning and put it in an ultrasonic cleaner to see if that does anything but in the mean time I thought I'd pick the fine brains here for any solutions or advice you might have.

    Sorry for the long post but I have tried to put in any relevant details I can think of. Any questions fire away. Cheers Joe.

    Did you check the two small screws on the carb L+H ? You might want to get a man that knows about saws to readjust them as they need to be adjusted properly and the slightest turn will make a difference.

    You should try the aborist website. Just Google it and you will get it. Its American and has a very good forum. People are good on it as well. Have you changed the filter and fuel line?

    Used the Sonic Cleaner on it today. Made a big difference, but not there quite yet.

    Yeah the L & H screws can be a b1tch to set up.

    Already posted this on Aboristsite.com :) Cheers.

    If I can't get it right with mixture screws next step is ti vacuum check the crankcase in case of leaky seal :(

    Thanks for suggestions, keep them coming. :):)
