Hi everyone, having carb issues on mid 70’s xl 2. The carb is a walbro hdc and has a fixed low speed jet. The saw is very hard to start . When it does start after I let up on the throttle it will not idle. Saw runs good at full throttle . I suspect the low idle circuit is messed up. I have changed fuel lines, fuel filter and replaced the tank duck bill. Does anyone know if there’s a replacement carb ? Or should I just buy a carb rebuild it, if so is the low speed jet serviceable . Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
