Carburettor The carburettor works in different ways depending
on the setting:
The carburettor consists of three sub-systems:
• Cold start mode
• Idling mode
• Part throttle mode
• Full throttle mode
• The metering unit (A) which contains the jets

and the fuel control mechanism. This measures
out the right amount of fuel to suit the speed of
the saw and the power demand.
In the cold start mode the choke valve (D) is
completely closed. This increases the vacuum in
• The mixing unit (B) consists of the choke, dif- the carburettor so that fuel is sucked through the
fuser jets and throttle valve. This is where the air diffuser jets faster (E).
and fuel are mixed to create a flammable mix-
ture.
• The pump unit (C) pumps fuel from the tank to

the metering system inside the carburettor. One
side of the pump diaphragm is connected to the
crankcase and pulses as a result of pressure
changes in the crankcase. The other side of the
diaphragm sucks in the fuel.
In idling mode the throttle valve (F) is closed. Air

is sucked through an aperture in the throttle valve
and a small amount of fuel is supplied through the
diffuser jet (E).
10 – English
In part throttle mode the throttle valve (F) is par-

tially open. Fuel is supplied through the diffuser
jets (E).
In full throttle mode both valves are open and fuel

is supplied through all the diffuser jets (E).

Chain catcher – replacement

If the chain catcher is worn it must be replaced with
a new one.

Clean and inspect all parts carefully. If there are
any cracks or other defects replace the damaged
parts with new ones.
The spark arrestor mesh is best cleaned with a
wire brush. If the mesh is damaged it must be
replaced.
If the mesh is blocked the saw will overheat and
this will cause damage to cylinder and piston.
Never use the saw with a silencer that is in poor
condition. Always use original parts.
Remove the chain catcher and replace it with a
new one. Check that the vibration damping spring
locates correctly against the crankcase when you
bolt the new chain catcher in position.
A worn (damaged) chain catcher on CS 2141, CS

Stop switch – resistance measurement
Clean the mating surfaces and check the resist-

Disconnect both leads from the stop plate and stop

over the lug on the front mounting.
Measure the resistance by connecting a multimeter

to the ignition coil. NOTE! The switch must be in
the “on” position to give the correct reading.
The resistance must not be higher than 0.2 ohm

when the switch is in the on position.
Carefully prise the carburettor assembly off the left-

Operation
The carburettor temperature is controlled by an
electronic thermostat to eliminate the risk of ice
formation in the carburettor. The thermostat switch-
es on/off at 12°C/54F. This means that the saw
operator does not need to remember to switch the
carburettor heater on or off.

Measure the resistance between O and F. The
reading should be 4±1 ohms. If the resistance is

3 Carburettor – adjustment
For instructions on adjusting the EPA carburettor
see appendix A.
Adjusting the carburettor involves adjusting the

engine to the local conditions e.g. climate, altitude,
fuel and type of two-stroke oil.
The carburettor is equipped with three adjustment

options.
L = Low speed jet
H = High speed jet
T = Idling adjustment screw
Refit the carburettor. Screw in the carburettor bolts

directly from behind without lifting the carburettor
assembly, tightening to a torque of 1–1.5 Nm. It is
important to hold the carburettor flange securely
when tightening the bolts to prevent the inlet mani-
fold from moving.
The L and H jets adjust the fuel flow to match

the airflow that the throttle valve opening allows.
Turning them clockwise makes the fuel/air mixture
weaker (less fuel in relation to the amount of air)
and turning them anti-clockwise makes the fuel/
air mixture richer. A weak mixture increases the
engine speed and a rich mixture decreases the
engine speed.
The T screw controls the throttle position when
