My Husky has an interesting system where the choke is linked to the throttle. Start the saw with the choke on and it goes right to high idle, blip the throttle and it settles down.
I had the carb out last year as the fuel hoses had softened and were collapsing under vacuum, its an interesting system with 2 throttle bodies. The second opens under high throttle. Apparently while the primary can carry enough fuel it can't get enough air in to not over richen at the top end so extra air has to be added. Must work good the saw has nice power (for only a 45cc motor) and doesn't smoke at all. Mitch had mentioned most saws having a catalyst. This one doesn't or it doesn't that I've found anyway and I've had the exhaust apart several times. -Curt Date: Mon, 12 Aug 2013 17:50:30 -0500 From: Dieselhead <126die...@gmail.com> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] I fought the saw and the saw won Message-ID: <a062408dfce2f1683fc39@[192.168.0.107]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" >It seems to me you have a variable definition for "flooded". >To me flooded means theres more gas available than can be handled by >the spark plug.

With the choke out, it starts, and runs and dies before I can get to the choke to shove it in. TO me that is more flooded than primed. to me primed means there is adequate gasoline to the carb. But I hate gassers, so I really don't care how you want to define the terms.
