pull cord on the 1984 154 SE Huskavarna ?

Sorry so late checking back.....No no pin in this one just a knot, Make sure you got the right size rope and pull the knot tight with two pairs of pliers to make it small as possible.

As for the welch plug (cover plug you called it) you shouldn't need to remove it, If you can't see the screen it wont be under that plug. It will be on the bottom side of the carb. under the pump cover.

If you noticed what I typed in the picture I posted, The screen could be on either the top or bottom of this carb.

One other thing you may want to check since you have the recoil assembly off is the crankshaft bearings. Do this by grabbing the flywheel and try rocking it up and down, If the bearings are worn it's possible the crank seals are leaking (sucking air) causing a lean and rich condition (as you saying continuous adjusting required).
