I love how some people come up with the simplest solutions that i can never figure out. Thank you.

5:56 This is probably the best explanation ever! Thanks for the help, got my pp180 running smooth again. I like your tip with the foam can nozzles. I took one and superglued it to a long junk hex screwdriver that came from some long-lost Walmart furniture set. Now I have a tool I can use to adjust carbs anytime.

Bob, you saved the day! The "great stuff" tube pressed on perfectly. I used a marker to mark the "top" of the tube near the carburetor for reference. My Husqvarna 445 started fine, but when I pulled throttle lever it would bog down and begin to die unless I let go of the throttle. It wouldn't run at operating speed, only about 1/3 speed. Here's what fixed the problem. My Low took about 1/4 turn to the left (open) to be more responsive to throttle. The High took about 1/4 turn to the left (open) to remove the "stalling" issue and now it runs perfectly!! Back in action, thanks to you... You're the man today! Happy New Year!!

Thanks Bob; you’re a genius. I was able to adjust my carb
with an electrical connector instead of buying a tool and waiting weeks for it
to arrive in the mail. Idles like new now.

Thanks Bob for the awesome tip. My chain saw been sitting for 4 years, now its running perfectly. 👍👍👍

Came to YouTube to find the bog solution and was able to fix three saws with blue electrical connectors and get back to work. Save my hide. You the man.

Idle speed screw is below those adj screws. There's a hole in the recoil housing for that.

YOU THE MAN!I sat for 2 days staring at needle nose pliers and a glue gun to figure a simple hack like this...thanks.

Whoever insisted manufactures use this style of tool is a tool themselve. They should be put in jail for 5 consecutive life sentencs for ripping off the consumer.

Best youtube video about this I used a plastic wire connector and flathead and fixed my bog issue.

[mattwaters]

Brilliant idea Bob. Will remember this. You the man! 👍😊

[stewartbruce]

I have a Poulan Pro 42cc saw which is new, and I just got it to start, but it will only run for about 15 to 30 seconds on average before it quits. I figured that the adjustments for the carburetor was incorrect. I don't have the special wrenches needed to adjust the hi, and lo settings, and will look for some at the local saw shop tomorrow. I thank you for providing us with this information and I will see if my older Poulan saw is in need of adjustment also, but it have given me great service since 2000 when I got it new.

Sir you are a Genius. I thank you so much as I didn't have that carb tool. This worked Great. Thank you again !!!

[Samestori]

Great video 👍👍! You just saved a chainsaws life. I was just about to pull out the 20lb sledg hammer to make the adjustment. No other tools was working.

[detnd]

thanks great idea by the way your idle adjustment is right under the Low/high adjustments on this chainsaw
thank you again

[Captain_Kdawg]

I’m taking the time to tell you I appreciate the tip. My sh!t as* poulan wouldn’t idle didn’t have the tool and I used your tip and it worked thanks man !!

[johnanthony]

Good job !! Tomorrow I will try to wedge a small screwdriver in an electrical connector and do the adjustment without removing the cover.
