Thanks Grumpy, found your first site ie the arboristsite and it wasn't much help, only saw your second site after I had already pulled this apart, carby is at the very end so you need to move everything else first. I took the carby to a mower place and he told me he had no rebuild kit for this carby, said it's too old. So I took the carby apart and washed it with carb cleaner, diaphragms were in pretty good condition BUT I have really struggled getting this back together, main problem is the throttle switch. A wire much like a paper clip joins the throttle plate of the carb to the plastic switch in the handle but I cannot get the wire to stay on both, as soon as it is moved even a little the wire falls off. I have included some photos but I think this is going to be difficult. I have spent a number of hours on this and would still like to see if I at least cleaned the carby right, can I still run the chainsaw without the bar and chain and also without the throttle switch?
