i have said it before....there is such deep and extensive knowledge in this forum it deserves better than to be piece mealed out in separate threads and comments, thereby missed by many needy people. A steering committee should be set up of people willing to serve who have demonstrated vast experience (not me) in repair of the air cooled machines. This need is demonstrated by a response I just received from Bert ...
On the Intek 24 there is a "damper spring" riding on a carb rod which broke on my Husky. I did not know its function or that it existed, but the engine went into severe surging for a week. At that time I used the"search" here and only "dirt" came up. BUT TODAY I AM TOLD THAT BROKEN SPRING IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MANY CASES OF SURGE. Why should not that be featured as a major topic under the NEW sticky?
Other topics suggested: IGNITION MODULES, OVERHEAT, VALVE ADJUSTMENT, GAS FLOW, CARB (imo overkilled for replacement and cleaning)
Your comments should be welcomed.
Edit: AND...although it will take some effort, once created the "advice load" on the knowledgeable should drop as inquiries can be directed to sticky
