Thanks for the reply Restrob. Boy I hope the bearings are not loose
for that may take my saw where I do not wish to take it. To the trash
can. I doubt she is worth the price of a complete overhaul for then the
only part left will be the plastic casing.

Hi Restrob, I popped the pull cord today and was reinstalling it and
did what I usually would do is tie a knot on the end of the cord like
i
would on a tractor or hand mowers pull cord but on this the knot is in
the way. Is there supposed to be like midrift pin on the end of the
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).
