Stihl TS 420 Won't hold idle unless primer bulb is pushed

J

johnjuniet on Sep 07, 2012

I was given a Stihl TS420 Cutting Saw to fix. It had pure gasoline run through it, and it would no longer start. I have so far replaced the piston, ring and cylinder assembly, spark plug, hoses, gaskets and carburetor. I have attempted to adjust the idle with the old carburetor, but not with the new one (assuming that it's set to factory standards). The persistent issue is that when it starts, it won't hold a low idle, nor will it stay running unless the primer bulb is pushed continuously. When pushed, the fuel will run the motor until the amount of fuel in the carburetor wanes, then if left alone, it will die out. This has occurred at every turn in the process, and still persists. :wall: I'm not sure where to go from here. What could I be missing? What else can I check/change/repair/replace? :confused: Is there a diagram anywhere that shows how the hoses are supposed to be routed (in case I have them backwards), because I think I have the hoses right, but I am only human. I have checked youtube for backyardmechanic and for donnyboy73, but neither address this issue with this particular saw. Any help or direction you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.Read More
