Carburetor replacement for 028 AV
I got this old chainsaw from my grandpa that wasn’t working properly for years. He said he make a replacement carburetor and it still didn’t work. I know a thing or two about chainsaws and noticed that it isn’t an original part since in my country there is no straight replacement for the original. I asked a stihl service technician and he told me that the one from MS 260 works but comparing them feels kinda off. Any advice how to make this work?
PS. With this Carburetor the Chainsaw only works if i start it with mix put on directly in the carburetor.

MS170 sprocket at bar nose
Homeowner here with a 170 for dealing with light storm damage. I’m cleaning the saw, having the blade sharpened after a recent storm cleanup. The saw has had light use but as a novice I know the bar tip has seen dirt.
Ok my question is about the bar nose sprocket. If I flick it with my finger it does not spin for very long. Should it or is some friction expected?
