When it first started smoking it was pronounced oil smoke. I couldn't adjust it to not smoke. I was ready to give up and take it to my not so good dealer when it cleared up on its own. Not a problem with the fuel/mix, as my other saws were fine. After I set it with my bud's tach it ran good...

So I need a measurement across the carb body where the inlet needle opens? Where would I find that spec?

So to update I tached it and set it to 13,900. The coil says 14.1 which is the cut-out speed so I read. It ran good for a while and then went back to running rich. I haven't run it much since I tached it. I ran it low on gas and it started to race, so I shut it down. After I refilled it...

Well, the puzzle continues. I popped the limiter cap back on, anticipating taking it to the doofus dealer, and decided to see how it was running. Not running rich. Took it out warmed it up, and decided it was lean now. Tried finding the sweet spot. Doesn't seem to have one. I read it has 3...

No, it is just plain running rich. I probably should have worded it different. I took the carb plate with the needle off today. Putting it back together the spring fell down in the saw. I tried to locate it, then I tried to tip it out. Ended up pulling the carb, still couldn't find it...

It is the 50cc without a cat.

You learn the tricks and quirks after some frustration. I took it off once. Hopefully I remember how I did it. I have taken off much easier ones.

Yeah, true, but this one is extra aggravating.

Other than a crack,or a loose or unsealed Welch plug, I can think of no cause for dumping fuel, other than a piece of dirt under the needle. The Welch plug will be visible with the pump cover off. I normally would pull the carb off and disect. Removal is kind of a pain on this model. I will...

It was set lean from the factory. They are trying to meet some pollution regulations, I think. We had a pretty good dealer mechanic, but he went down the road and his replacement has some learning to do. I turned the H screw enough so it should have gone from rich to lean. I am thinking a...

It was running lean, so I pulled the cap and adjusted. I had it just a tad rich, and it seemed to slowly get a bit richer. Then it jumped to way too rich. I will look at the muffler first.

I am sure the gas is good. I ran another saw on it, no problem. No cat. It would say E-tech on the side cover and have a green gas cap. Good thought on the muffler. I hadn't thought of that. I would think if my dealer wants to keep me as a customer they would overlook me pulling the cap...

Good thought.

The dealers a douche. I can get to the needle without pulling the carb. I think the fuel line too. I will try blowing it out on the saw. I took the carb off to get the limiter off. Kind of a pain. The kid doing the work at the dealer has a pile of carbs he diagnosed as "no good." How many...

I did have a new saw once that had something plug up the carb. It wouldn't run. The plug is black. It went from a tad rich to way too rich all of a sudden.

3 month old 346. I have run a little over 4 gallons through it. It was running just a tad on the rich side. Now it doesn't have enough adjustment with the limiter to not smoke. Anybody ever have a saw go too rich? Better than too lean, I guess, but it has me puzzled.
