Great how-to video. Great kit too - very affordable and complete. My kit came in today and I was excited to finally remove the non-adjustable carb that EVERY forum and thread said comes standard on my new MS170 to replace it with an adjustable. I followed the easy steps to remove my stock carb when I found out my MS170 comes standard with this exact same carb so I reassembled the OEM and will simply keep this Hipa kit as a spare for the future. I thought I was buying an adjustable carb like the Walbro215, but I was wrong. Neither this Hipa nor the stock OEM carb are adjustable. They both only have idle screws - no fuel adjustment.

Love how it’s about the job, not the start of your quest for internet fame. Thanks.

Have a stihl ms-180, and an Echo 3510. Both purchased for chainsaw carving. Love the weight and the power, but both have the same issue. Carbs don't last long or they are getting clogged from fine saw dust. I take them in for fix and a month later I'm doing it again. Any suggestions?

Thank God for hand saws at least they work!

So how do you take it off? If it’s jammed, I tried spending counterclockwise like you did in that video when he did it too fast and it never turned. How would I take it off?
