    Thwarted!

    I had that problem on two saws .The infamous 2100 Husky and a 2800 Poulan . I stuck vents on them like Stihl uses with the little screw in them [older Stihls ] Problem fixed .

    Thwarted!

    That damned 2100 would take a fit about like that .Run fine one day then seemed to lack spark the next .For reasons unknown to me it just quit acting like spoiled child and decided to spark .About the time you think you know something up pops a deal like that to make you feel dumb as a mop...

    Does it have one of those damned coils under the flywheel ? It just might have a cracked coil casing ,you can't see the crack .Moisture gets inside and causes a malfunction . Pull the coil out and dry it in the oven at low heat or just let it sit in a warm room a week or so .Spray the outside...

    Thwarted!

    I've got a little 70 cc Mac that runs like a raped ape but I'm soon to be on my 4 th crankshaft because it evidently slips the flywheel and break out the keyway . The next go around will be with a different flywheel ,laped to the crank and maybe a tad bit of tooth paste . Gull durnit I'm...

    I don't know if this applies or not .My 2100 for reasons unknown to me gets black chit stuck in the screen in the carb .Doesn't do it all the time though .The son of a brick goes along just fine then the rotted SOB won't start the next day .Sure enough ,clogged screen. Yet after the sceen is...

    Most likely it is an RCH too high . Cut it down a tad then rest the clutch side shaft on a support and smack the flywheel with a dead blow hammer .That will stop the shake rattle and roll unless the key is too high .

    The taper on the crank/flywheel is actualy what holds it in place .The keyway is just for reference . Tooth paste has a very very light abbrasive in it thus gripping the metal surfaces better . Old ,old trick .;)

    I'm not sure if all are steel but all of them I've fiddled with are . They tell me some of the little Huskies had the key cast in the flywheel ,can't say aye or nay to that one .

    It should be a standard metric woodruff key .About any good automotive parts supplier should have a selection of them but it would most likely be faster to find a stocking Husky dealer . Around these parts they are rare as a hens tooth .
