Hello Everyone,
I have a Stihl 034 AV 20"
The moment I put a little pressure on saw to cut, the chain quickly stops, bogs down ... and no power to continue. If I try to continue it stalls. If I back off on the pressure, rev up, and try again, same thing. No problem starting or restarting.
Here's what I have done so far:
1) check compression - 145 to 150 every time. Spark plug looks good.
2) rebuilt carburetor & adjust inlet control lever. Reset high speed and low speed screws as per specs. Tried turning them several different ways and combinations and got the saw to seemingly accelerate and idle properly.
3) check muffler for carbon build up
4) replace fuel line, fuel filter, impulse hose, manifold flange
Could a improperly installed sealing plug/plate inside the carb cause the saw to lose power when trying to cut? I don't think I installed it wrong, it just doesn't look professional.
What am I missing? Any ideas may help. Thanks
