Carburetor Adjustments
The fuel system is factory-set to standard air temperature and atmospheric pressure settings. Additional adjustment of the carburetor is required if after warming up the engine does not start or does not develop revolutions. In another variant – it stops when pressing the gas or does not work at idle speed.
The most probable cause of this malfunction is too rich or bad fuel mixture entering the engine. The recommended sequence for adjusting the fuel system is given in the service and company manual.
Turning the gasoline emulsion quantity and quality adjusting screws brings the oil to the standard 1:16 content.
The key to successful operation is:
- High quality gasoline and a properly prepared fuel mixture;
- Pre-cleaning of the air filter;
- Warming the engine up to working temperature.
If there is an engine in the design, it is necessary to make sure that it is repairable. Constant ignition clearance adjustment is not required. Adjusting the spark plug gap is sufficient for proper ignition adjustment.
All models of the brand range run on a fuel mixture of gasoline and engine oil for two-stroke gas-distributing engines. The proportion of oil is the standard 40: 1, for individual models. At altitude, the figure is 50: 1.
Depending on the air temperature, consumables are selected from a list of brands recommended in the manual. It is possible to use an identical counterpart of appropriate quality. Engine oils and their chain counterparts are not interchangeable.
Failures and troubleshooting
A significant portion of malfunctions are the result of lack of skilled maintenance, illiterate and improper use of the tool.
If the saw does not start in another version, it starts and fails and can be the cause of failure:
- Water trapped in the carburetor;
- Expired fuel mixture timing;
- A receiver filter clogged with sawdust.
If the engine does not run steadily at the speed of the selected operating mode, you should check the quality of the gasoline itself, the cleanliness of the fuel filter and carburetor jets.
In difficult conditions the injectors work. In a situation where the chain is not lubricated in working mode, its life is reduced by several times. If there is no oil supply to the headset with a cistern, operation should be stopped until the fault is corrected.
advantages and disadvantages
The technical and performance parameters are identical in various countries. With timely and complete maintenance, all models produce the allocated resources with a significant reserve.
- A sufficient range of spare parts, oils, spark plugs and other consumables ensure that owners can do their own maintenance and up-to-date repairs. The domestic part of the repair stock is replenished by China, but the quality level of cheaper parts and assemblies is much lower.
- The list of advantages is good for its category, interchangeability of unified parts.
- Users positively noted the absence of problems with engine starting. Despite the lack of additional equipment, starting the chainsaw, which is moderately adapted to the cold climate, is without problems
There are practically no serious design flaws. There are separate complaints about the quality of plastic, the budgetary life of the saw sets, increased consumption of chain lubrication.
owners’ reviews
Partner P842 Partner P842 series according to the main parameters is one of the most successful models. The budget cost of the tool affects everything, including the quality of materials and durability of components. But for home use the option is the most optimal. For a new tool, a temporary setup is required. Only in this case, its functionality can be used at 100%. Leva
The work of the new chainsaw Partner did not get along from the first day. The engine started badly, unstably worked at idle when giving the load. After two failed adjustments, the carburetor was replaced under warranty. Since then, my problems are over, the saw was back to normal operating level. The engine is great, the chain after a few cubes of sawed firewood had to be replaced early, the tire is still holding up. And another thing, in the cold the oil pump almost does not work, I have to dilute the oil with gasoline. Peter Alexandrovich
