3. Seal on spark plug boot deleted

1.=Tank housing

Modified tank housings with different part numbers
will be installed in all saw versions from machine
number X 36 348 620K=qhe changes are described
below.

1.1=Tank vent

The original two-way valve for equalizing pressure
in the fuel tank has been deleted and will be
replaced by mushroom valve 1110 353 1600.

The new valve only allows air to enter the fuel tank.

                                                                                             145TI016 KN

                                                         Left:     Original valve
                                                         Right:    New valve

)XQFWLRQ
Fuel consumption during saw operation causes a
low pressure to occur in the tank. This opens the

mushroom valve, allows air to flow into the tank
and equalize pressure.

,PSRUWDQW
Pressure may build up in the tank while the engine
is stopped (e.g. due to radiated heat from engine
                                                                                            145TI017 KN

or sun).
Always open the fuel filler cap slowly so that any
excess pressure built up after unit is turned off is
released gradually and fuel does not escape
unexpectedly.

1.2=Fuel pickup hose

The S-shaped fuel pickup hose 1129 358 7700 will
be installed on the production line instead of the
original straight hose 1121 358 7705. The new
hose requires a larger opening in the tank housing.

In this connection the replacement tank housings
will also have the same size opening. In order to
ensure easy changeovers, replacement tank
housings will be supplied together with the new
pickup hose for about the next 2 years (see
Summary).

1.3=Cover =026=, shutter =024

When the air filter system with compensator was

introduced on the 026 (see TI 31.95) the
combustion air intake was moved from the top to
the bottom (between carburetor box cover and

tank housing). As the air flow has been changed,
the cut-out (see arrow) in the tank housings of all
saw versions is no longer required and has been
deleted. Similarly, the cover E1F=~nd shutter E2F
(depending on model and version) previously fitted
in this cut-out have been deleted.

Service note

The cut-out is now closed with a molding skin

(cross-hatched in illustration). It can be re-opened
for use on 026 saws with the original air filter

system and 024 saws. The cover or shutter can
then be fitted.
Carry out the work carefully (with a drill and file) so
that the cover or shutter is an exact fit.

1.4=Stop buffer

A stop buffer 1121 791 2800 (arrow) is installed
in the left carburetor box cover wall to further
enhance the anti-vibration system. It helps limit
the AV system’s buffer travel under extremely
high loads.
The stop buffer is included in the scope of supply
of the new replacement tank housing.

2) Part remains available for older machines

2.=Carburetor

New carburetor versions will be installed from
machine number X 36 348 620.

The differences between the new and original
carburetors are:
• Valve jet E1F=with orifice (semi-fixed jet)
• New H and L screws sealed with 0-ring E2F

                                                                                                      133TI030 KN
    and washer E3F
                                                                         1               2 3
Approximately 75% of the fuel required is fed

through a calibrated orifice (0.48 mm dia.)

irrespective of the position of the H screw.
This means that machines can be tuned more
accurately and are less sensitive to incorrect
adjustment.

The carburetor type designations have been
changed from WT 394 to WT 426.
