Stihl 180 carburetor device

So, the stihl ms 180 carburetor is developed and manufactured by a subsidiary of Stihl, called Zama. Original carburetors, on their body have a company logo that guarantees product quality.

When to adjust the Stihl 180 carburetor

First, it is worth deciding why it may even be necessary to adjust and repair the stihl ms 180 carburetor. So, this must be done in the following cases:

• if the chainsaw does not keep idling;
• repairs may be required if the saw does not start;
• there is a loss of power;
• increased fuel consumption;
• the chainsaw does not develop maximum speed.
• stalls when accelerating.

This list can be continued for a long time, but we have identified the main reasons. Before proceeding with the adjustment, you need to know what are the main parts of the carburetor on the Stihl 180 chainsaw, and who makes it.

Air damper

The carburetor choke is installed on the opposite side of the throttle and is responsible for starting a cold engine, it is controlled by the engine control lever. For a cold start, the air damper is completely closed, for normal operation, open.

Throttle flap

The throttle valve is installed in the carburetor body and is responsible for increasing the supply of the fuel mixture directly to the engine cylinder. At the moment of pressing the gas, the throttle valve opens slightly, thereby increasing the throughput of the channel and fuel from the carburetor cavity, rushes into the cylinder in a larger volume.

Combustion of a larger volume of fuel increases the amount of generated energy, which affects the power and speed of the processes. The damper is installed on the shaft passing through the entire carburetor body. At the exit of the shaft from the body, a mount for the gas cable is installed, next to it is a cone-shaped adjusting screw responsible for adjusting the idle speed. By tightening the screw, you can slightly adjust the position of the shaft and the damper installed on it, thereby increasing or decreasing the idle speed, slightly opening or vice versa closing the damper.

Adjusting the Stihl 180 carburetor

The carburetor of the Stihl 180 chainsaw, indiscriminately, can only be adjusted by the number of idle revolutions. It is impossible to increase or decrease the fuel supply in different modes using special screws. The manufacturer restricts access to adjustments and does not install these screws. How to adjust the carburetor to the correct idle speed is described in great detail in the manufacturer’s instructions.

In the event of certain malfunctions, and with experience, it is possible to increase or decrease the fuel supply by increasing the clearance when opening the needle valve.

To increase the flow, the rocker arm of the needle valve in the distribution chamber must be bent up, and to decrease, down. This regulates the stroke of the needle and, accordingly, the throughput of the valve.

It is not necessary to carry out the adjustment yourself, since this must be done very accurately and in case of an error it is almost impossible to return the original position of the rocker arm.

Dismantling the carburetor Stihl 180

In order to purge, change gaskets or the needle valve, the carburetor must be disassembled. To do this, unscrew 4 screws on the expansion joint cover and one on the fuel pump.

Having opened the case, you should be extremely careful, because if debris gets into the inside of the carburetor, it will make its work impossible. The thickness of the channels in it is comparable to the thickness of a thread or even a human hair.

A video for repairing a Stihl 180 carburetor can be viewed below. In it, the wizard tells in detail about the problems and clearly demonstrates the entire repair process.

Chainsaw ignition step by step:

• We diagnose a malfunction;
• We dismantle the protective cover;
• We remove the module with a candlestick and an electric cable. We carry out their visual inspection, if necessary, we replace them with a new one;
• Install the ignition module, but do not tighten the fastening screws all the way;

• Determine the area with the magnet on the flywheel;

• We set the gap properly, in accordance with the parameters specified in the instruction manual;
• We tighten the screws that secure the module to the stop, check the settings with a probe, and, if necessary, re-adjust;
• Install the protective cover and check for a spark on the candle;
• We screw in the candle, start the chainsaw;

Important: when repairing the ignition of a chainsaw, special attention should be paid to setting the correct gap between the module and the flywheel.

You should also check if the flywheel is clinging to the module with the counterweight. If this happens, you may have a bearing failure or a backlash on the shaft.

Constructive components

All gasoline two-stroke engines have a similar operating principle, and therefore the ignition system in them has a typical structure and device.

Possible malfunctions

If the saw does not start, the first thing to check is the spark, which gives off a spark that ignites the fuel in the cylinder. Start by removing the high voltage wire that the plug is connected to. Then remove the spark plug from the cylinder cover and check its condition. When used correctly, the candle should be dry and fine on fine ceramics:

• If the plug is wet, there is a problem with the carburetor. It is necessary to adjust and set the fuel level in it;
• Carbon on the walls of the plug is dark or black, indicating a malfunction in the piston group.

If you did not find an obvious cause of the malfunction here, the candle is dry, light sediment continues to go from the opposite side. Since this is the end point of ignition of the working mixture. Now check to see if the spark ignites the candle. This is the ignition system block.

Carburetor problems

A feature of the Stihl chainsaw carburetor is the presence of 1 screw, which is responsible for adjusting the idle speed. During the operation of the equipment, it is always necessary to pay attention to the idle speed. A few simple steps will help to adjust this: checking the air filter, as well as the spark protection grille.

It is worth noting that repairing a Stihl chainsaw carburetor is considered a laborious process. The article discusses in detail the adjustment of the spark plug for the Stihl 180 chainsaw. If for some reason it stopped starting, you must do the following:

• open the gas tank cap and then close it;
• remove and dry the candle;
• ventilate the combustion chamber.
