tion in pitch which will contribute
to rapid wear of sprocket teeth.
6. A badly worn bar will contribute
to rapid wear of the chain which
will cause the sprocket to wear.
Rapid deterioration and wear on
chain drive lugs, side links and
cutters will result from installing a
new chain. Never install a new
chain on a worn sprocket or bar.
CLUTCH
CLUTCH BEARING. The clutch
drum and sprocket can rotate freely (or
stop) when the clutch is disengaged. A
caged needle roller bearing is located
between the clutch drum hub and the
shaft. The bearing on most models uses
the shaft as the inner race and the
clutch drum hub as the outer race and
can be removed by hand without any
special tools.
Clutch needle bearing failure is often
caused by storing the saw after oper-
ating under extremely wet conditions.
The water will penetrate the needle
bearing, form rust and cause the
needles to become locked. It is recom-
mended that the clutch drum be re-
moved periodically (depending on local
conditions) and the bearing repacked
with a good grade of water-resistant
grease (not water pump grease).
CLUTCH DRUM AND SHOES.

or grooving may be caused by any of
the following:
1. Improper filing. Hooked cutters
and excessive joint will especially
cause the clutch to slip.
2. Chain pinched in cut causing
clutch to slip. Throttle should be
released immediately when chain
becomes pinched.
3. Oil soaked or worn clutch shoes.
Clutch shoes should be inspected
periodically. Glazing can be re-
moved by wire brushing or other
similar method.
OFF-SEASON STORAGE
When storing a chain saw for periods
longer than 30 days, the following stor-
age instructions should be followed:
Drain all fuel from the fuel tank. Start
and run the engine until it stops to re-
move fuel from carburetor. Drain oil
from oil tank. Remove guide bar and
chain and clean them thoroughly. Store
the chain in a small container with en-
gine oil covering the chain. Apply light
coat of oil to guide bar and wrap it in
paper. Clean exterior of the saw. Re-
move the spark plug and pour one tea-
spoon of two-cycle engine oil or a rust
inhibitor product into the combustion
chamber. Install spark plug and pull
starter rope slowly several times to dis-
tribute the oil over the cylinder. Store
the saw in a dry, well-ventilated place
away from corrosive agents such as gar-
den chemicals and fertilizer.
Tb remove saw from storage, remove
spark plug and pull starter rope several
times to clear cylinder of excess oil.
Clean and gap spark plug or install a
new spark plug. Install guide bar and
chain and adjust chain to proper ten-
sion. Fill fuel tank with fresh fuel/oil
mixture. Do not use old fuel that has
been stored more than 90 days. Fill
chain oil tank with clean chain oil.

PRESSURE TESTING
A hand pump and pressure gauge may
be used to test fuel system for leakage
when diagnosing problems with di-
aphragm carburetors. With engine
stopped and cooled, first adjust carbu-
retor low-speed and high-speed mixture
screws to chain saw manufacturer's rec-
ommended initial settings. Remove fuel
tank cap and withdraw fuel line out fuel
tank opening. Remove strainer on end
of fuel line and connect a suitable pres-
sure tester as shown in Fig. CS1. Pres-
surize system until 7 psi (48 kPa) is read
on pressure gauge. Pressure reading
must remain constant. If not, remove
components as needed and connect
pressure tester directly to carburetor in-
let fitting as shown in Fig. CS2. Pressur-
ize carburetor until 7 psi (48 kPa) is read
on pressure gauge. If pressure reading
now remains constant, the fuel line is
defective. If pressure reading decreases,
then carburetor must be removed for
further testing.
Connect pressure tester directly to
carburetor inlet fitting and submerge
carburetor assembly into a suitable con-
tainer filled with a nonflammable solu-
tion or water as shown in Fig. CS3. Pres-
surize carburetor until 7 psi (48 kPa) is

text.
read on pressure gage. Observe carbu-
retor and note location of leaking air
bubbles. If air bubbles escape from
around jet needles or venturi, then in-
let needle or metering mechanism is
defective. If air bubbles escape at im-
pulse opening, then pump diaphragm is
defective. If air bubbles escape from
around fuel pump cover, then cover gas-
ket or pump diaphragm is defective.
To check inlet needle and metering
mechanism, first rotate low and high
speed mixture screws inward until light-
ly seated. Pressurize system until 7 psi
(48 kPa) is read on pressure gage. If pres-
sure reading does not remain constant,
inlet needle is leaking. If pressure re-
mains constant, depress metering di-
aphragm with a suitable length and
thickness of wire through the vent hole
in metering diaphragm cover. This will
lift inlet needle off its seat and pressur-
ize the metering chamber. A slight drop
in pressure reading should be noted as
metering chamber becomes pressurized.
If no drop in pressure reading is noted,
the inlet needle is sticking. If pressure
does not hold after a slight drop, a
defective metering mechanism or leak-
ing high or low speed Welch plugs are
indicated. To determine which compo-
nent is leaking, submerge carburetor as
previously outlined. Pressurize carbure-
tor until 7 psi (48 kPa) is read on pres-
sure gage, then depress metering di-
aphragm as previously outlined. If
bubbles escape from hole in metering di-
aphragm cover, metering diaphragm is
defective. If bubbles escape from with-
in venturi, determine which discharge
port the air bubbles are escaping from
to determine which Welch plug is
leaking.
If low or high speed running problems
are noted, the passage beneath the
respective Welch plug may be restricted.
To test idle circuit, adjust low speed
mixture screw to recommended initial
setting and rotate high speed mixture
screw inward until lightly seated. Pres-
surize carburetor until 7 psi (48 kPa) is
read on pressure gage. Depress meter-

BING
Models 48 And 49
These carburetors are diaphragm type
carburetors with integral fuel pumps.
OPERATION. Operation of Bing car-
buretors is typical of other diaphragm
type carburetors. Pressure and vacuum
impulses from engine crankcase actuate
the fuel pump diaphragm. Movement of
the diaphragm draws fuel out of the
tank to the carburetor fuel pump cham-
ber. A metering diaphragm regulates the
amount of fuel that is delivered to the
engine. Engine suction is transmitted
through the fuel ports in the carbure-
tor air passage to the fuel side of the
metering chamber. Atmospheric pres-
sure on the dry side of metering di-
aphragm then pushes the diaphragm to-
ward the fuel metering lever, which
opens the fuel inlet needle valve. Fuel
from the fuel pump flows past the nee-
dle valve into the metering chamber.
The fuel in the metering chamber is
then drawn through the idle or high
speed adjusting orifices and out the idle
discharge holes or main nozzle in car-
buretor air passage by engine suction.
OVERHAUL. Clean carburetor exter-
nally prior to disassembly. Refer to Fig.
CSS and CS6 and disassemble carbure-
tor. Clean and inspect all components.
Sharp objects should not be used to
clean orifices or passages as fuel flow
may be altered.
Check metering diaphragm and fuel
pump diaphragm for punctures or tears
that may affect operation. Examine fuel
inlet valve and seat for wear or damage.
Fuel mixture screws must be renewed
if grooved or broken. Inspect mixture
needle seats in carburetor body and re-
new body if seats are damaged or exces-
sively worn.
When reassembling carburetor, renew
all gaskets. Diaphragm lever (19—Fig.
CSS) should be flush with circuit plate
(14) on 48 series carburetors.

SERVICE MANUAL CARBURETOR SERVICE
DELL'ORTO
Model FTR-16-12
Dell'Orto carburetor Model FTR-16-12
is a diaphragm type carburetor with an
integral fuel pump.
OPERATION. Operation of Dell'Orto
carburetor Model FTR-16-12 is typical
of other diaphragm type carburetors. In-
let needle valve (14-Fig. CS7), low and
high speed mixture screws (5 and 6) and
metering diaphragm (2) are incorpor-
ated into metering block (4) which can be
separated from carburetor body (10).
OVERHAUL. Clean carburetor ex-
ternally prior to disassembly. Refer to
Fig. CS7 and disassemble carburetor.
Clean and inspect all components. In-
spect metering diaphragm (2) and fuel
pump diaphragm (23) for punctures or
tears which may affect operation. Ex-
amine fuel inlet valve (14) and seat. Inlet
valve is renewable, but metering block
(4) must be renewed if needle seat is ex-
cessively worn or damaged. Sharp ob-
jects should not be used to clean orifices
or passages as fuel flow may be altered.
Fuel mixture screws (5 and 6) must be
renewed if grooved or broken. Inspect
mixture needle seats in metering block
(4) and renew metering block if seats are
damaged or excessively worn.
To reassemble carburetor, reverse
order of disassembly. Renew gaskets (3,
7 and 25). Diaphragm lever (11) should
be flush with chamber floor.
TILLOTSON
Models HC, HJ And HL
Tillotson Model HC, HJ and HL car-
buretors are diaphragm type carbure-
tors with Model HL having an integral
diaphragm fuel pump. Operation and
servicing of these carburetors is similar
and covered in the following para-
graphs.
OPERATION. Operation of Model
HL carburetor is outlined in the follow-
ing paragraphs. Operation of HC and
HJ carburetors is similar to HL but they
are not equipped with a diaphragm fuel
pump.
A cross-sectional schematic view of a
typical Tillotson Series HL diaphragm
type carburetor with integral fuel pump
is shown in Fig. CS9. The top of the
pump diaphragm is vented to the engine
crankcase through the channel (8). As
the diaphragm pulsates, fuel is drawn in-
to the carburetor through inlet (1),
there is not enough air passing through
venturi (14) to create any vacuum on
main jet (15). A vacuum is created at
primary idle jet (10A), however, and the
fuel necessary for running the engine is
drawn through that jet.
As the throttle disc is opened, enough
vacuum is created on secondary idle jet
port (10B) so fuel is drawn through that
port also. At a certain point, the throttle
disc is open far enough so the velocity of
air passing through the venturi is suffi-
cient to lower the pressure at main fuel
discharge port (15) so fuel will flow
through this port also. Opening the
throttle disc farther results in, higher air
velocities and lower venturi pressures
27
screen (28) and pump inlet valve (3A).
The fuel is then pumped through outlet
valve (3B) into supply channel (17).
Engine suction through main jet (15)
and idle jets (10) is transmitted to the
top of the carburetor diaphragm (25)
and atmospheric pressure through vent
(23) pushes upward on the diaphragm
(25) overcoming spring (20) pressure
and unseating inlet needle (18) allowing
fuel to flow into diaphragm chamber (6).
When starting an engine, closing
choke disc (16) increases the vacuum in
the carburetor throat so the carburetor
will function at the low cranking rpm.
When the engine is idling, the throttle
disc is almost completely closed and

that increase;! the flow of fuel out of the
discharge
Any vacuuih created at idle discharge
ports (10) on main fuel discharge port
(15) is transferred through metering
chamber (6) to diaphragm (25). Air
pressure entering through atmospheric
vent hole (fe) pushes against the
diaphragm because of the vacuum and
overcomes pnessure applied by spring
(20) through control lever (21). This
releases inlel needle valve (18) and
allows fuel to enter the metering
chamber in a direct relationship to the
vacuum creaned at the fuel discharge
ports. The Higher the vacuum, the
greater the movement of the diaphragm
and the largen the opening of the needle
valve. Thus, reel is metered into the car-
buretor to meet the needs of the engine.
Some HL carburetors are equipped
with governd| valve (25-Fig. CS11)
which enricheis the fuel mixture at the
governed speld and prevents engine
overspeeding. Original governor assem-
bly is tuned for each engine and cannot
be renewed. M disc may be installed in
place of governor assembly.

DISASSEMBLY. Clean carburetor
and inspect for signs of external
damage. Remove idle speed screw and
inspect screw, [washer and spring. In-
spect threads in carburetor body for
damage and repair with a Heli-Coil in-
sert, if necessaf
Remove the ffter cover, cover gasket,
and filter screen. Clean filter screen by
flushing with sdlvent and dry with com-
pressed air. The cover gasket should be
renewed whenever filter screen is serv-
iced. Clean all ||dirt from plastic cover
before assembly
Remove the llsix body screws, fuel
pump cover casting, fuel pump dia-
phragm and gaiket. Diaphragm should
be flat and free from holes. The gasket
\.

CHAIN SAW
should be renewed if there are holes or
creases in the sealing surface.
Remove the diaphragm cover casting,
metering diaphragm and diaphragm
gasket. Inspect the diaphragm for holes,
tears and other imperfections.
Remove the fulcrum pin, inlet control
lever and inlet tension spring. Care must
be used while removing parts due to
spring pressure on inlet control lever.
The spring must be handled carefully to
prevent stretching or compressing. Any
alteration to the spring will cause im-
proper carburetor operation. If in doubt
as to its condition, renew it.
Remove inlet needle. Remove inlet
seat assembly using a 5/16 inch thin wall
socket. Remove the inlet seat gasket.
Inlet needles and seats are in matched
sets and should not be interchanged.
Needle and seat assembly must be clean
for proper performance. Use a new
gasket when installing the insert cage.
Do not force cage as threads may be
stripped or the cage distorted. Use a tor-
que wrench and tighten cage to 25-30
in.-lbs. (2.8-3.4 N-m).
Remove both high speed and idle mix-
ture screws and inspect points. Notice
the idle mixture screw point has the step
design to minimize point and casting
damage. The mixture screws may be
damaged from being forced into the
casting seat or possibly broken off in the
casting. They may be bent. If damage is
present be sure to inspect condition of
casting. If adjustment seats are dam-
aged, a new body casting is required.
ASSEMBLY. Install the main nozzle
ball check valve if this part was found to
be defective. Do not overtighten as dis-
tortion will result. Install new Welch
plugs if they were removed. Place the
new Welch plugs into the casting
counterbore with convex side up and
flatten it to a tight fit using a 5/16 inch
flat end punch. If the installed Welch
plug is concave, it may be loose and
cause an uncontrolled fuel leak. The cor-
rectly installed Welch plug is flat.
Install inlet seat and tighten to 25-30
in.-lbs. (2.8-3.4 N-m). Install inlet needle.
Install inlet tension spring, inlet control
lever, fulcrum pin and fulcrum pin retain-
ing screw. The inlet control lever must
rotate freely on the fulcrum pin. Adjust
inlet control lever so the center of the
lever that contacts the metering dia-
phragm is flush to the metering chamber
floor as shown in Fig. CS12.
Place metering diaphragm gasket on
the body casting. Install metering dia-
phragm next to gasket. Reinstall dia-
phragm cover casting over metering dia-
phragm and gasket. Install pump gasket
on diaphragm cover first, then the fuel
pump diaphragm should be assembled
next to the gasket and the flap valve
16

SERVICE MANUAL CARBURETOR SERVICE
member next to the fuel pump dia-
phragm so that the flap valves will seat
against the fuel pump cover. Reinstall
fuel pump cover and attach with six
body screws. The above parts must be
assembled in the proper order or the
carburetor will not function properly.
Install filter screen on fuel pump
cover. Install gasket on filter screen and
replace filter cover over filter screen
and gasket and attach with center
screw.
Install high speed and idle mixture
screws in their respective holes being
careful not to damage points.
Welch plugs seal the idle bypass ports
and main nozzle ball check valve from
the metering chamber. Removal of these
plugs is seldom necessary because of
lack of wear in these sections and any
dirt that may accumulate can usually be
blown out with compressed air through
the mixture screw holes. If removal of
the Welch plugs is necessary, drill
through the Welch plug using a V8-inch
drill bit. Allow the drill bit to just break
through the Welch plug. If the drill bit
travels too deep into the cavity, the cast-
ing may be ruined. Pry the Welch plug
out of its seat using a small punch.
Inspect the idle bypass holes to ensure
they are not plugged. Do not push drill
bits or wires into the metering holes.
This may damage the flow characteris-
tics of the holes and upset carburetor
performance. Blow out plugged holes
with compressed air. Remove main noz-
zle ball check assembly with a screw-
driver of correct blade width. If ball
check is defective, engine idling will be
hampered unless high speed mixture
screw is shut off or there will be poor
high speed performance with high
speed mixture screw adjusted at 1V4
turns open. Replace the ball check if de-
fective.
Removing choke and throttle plates
before cleaning the body is not neces-
sary if there is no evidence of wear. In-
dication of wear will require the removal
of plates to check the casting. To remove
the plates, first mark the position of the
plates on their respective shafts to
assure correct reassembly. The plates
are tapered for exact fit in the carbure-
tor bore. Remove two screws and pull
the plate out of the carburetor body.
Remove the throttle shaft clip and pull
the shaft out of the casting. Examine
both the shaft and body bearing areas
for wear. Should either part show wear
then either the shaft or the body or both
will have to be renewed. Remove the
choke shaft from the body carefully so
the friction ball and spring will not fly
out of the casting. Inspect the shaft and
bushings for wear.
Model HK
Tillotson Model HK carburetor is a
diaphragm type with an integral dia-
phragm type fuel pump.
OPERATION. Operation of Tillotson
Model HK is basically similar to that
described for the Tillotson HL carbure-
tor in preceding section, the main differ-
ence being that the Series HK carbure-
tor is a compactly designed unit usually
used on lightweight, small displacement
engines.
OVERHAUL. Carburetor may be dis-
assembled after inspecting unit and
referral to exploded view in Fig. CS13.
Clean components using a suitable sol-
vent and compressed air. Do not at-
tempt to clean metered passages with
drill bits or wire as carburetor perform-
ance may be affected.
Inspect inlet lever spring (20) and re-
new if stretched or damaged. Inspect
diaphragms for tears, cracks or other
damage. Renew idle and high speed ad-
justing needles if needle points are
grooved or broken. Carburetor body
must be renewed if needle seats are
damaged. Fuel inlet needle has a rubber
tip and seats directly on a machined
orifice in circuit block (19). Inlet needle
or circuit block should be renewed if ex-
cessively worn.
With circuit block components in-
stalled, note height of long end of dia-
phragm lever (21). Lever end should be
flush with chamber floor in circuit block.
Bend lever adjacent to spring to obtain
correct lever height.
Models HS, HT And HU
Tillotson Models HS, HT and HU car-
buretors are diaphragm type with in-
tegral diaphragm type fuel pumps. Op-
eration and servicing of HS, HT and HU
carburetors are similar and covered in
the following paragraphs.
OPERATION. A cross-sectional
schematic view of a Tillotson Series HS
carburetor is shown in Fig. CS14. Op-
eration of Models HS, HT and HU car-
buretors is basically similar to that de-
scribed for the Tillotson HL carburetor
in OPERATION section of Models HC, HJ
and HL section. Some Model HS carbu-
retors are equipped with a governor
valve (26—Fig. CS15), consisting of a
check ball and spring. The governor
valve resonates at a desired engine
speed that allows excess fuel to bypass
the check ball and enter directly into
carburetor bore. The rich fuel mixture
causes the engine to lose power and
slow down, thereby preventing over-
speeding.
OVERHAUL. Refer to appropriate ex-
ploded view of carburetor shown in Fig.

Series SDC carburetor is shown. Opera-
tion of Models HD, HDA, HDB and
HDC is similar to Model SDC and discus-
sion will also apply to Models HD, HDA,
HDB and HDC except for explanation of
Model HDC accelerator pump.
Except for some models, Model SDC
carburetor is equipped with an accelera-
tor pump. When throttle is open, index-
ing hole in throttle shaft (25-Fig. CS21)
opens pulse passage (4) to accelerator
pump passage (8). Pressure against
pump diaphragm (9) compresses spring
(10) and pressurizes fuel passage (11),
ejecting excess fuel from main nozzle
(27). When throttle is closed, or partially
closed, indexing hole closes pulse
passage and accelerator pump spring
returns diaphragm to original position,
drawing fuel back up passage (11) to re-
charge accelerator pump.
At idle speed, air is drawn into car-
buretor through air bleed hole (13) and
mixed with fuel from idle fuel passage in
what is called the "emulsion channel."
More air enters idle fuel cavity through
