Easier way to fit Metering Spring, Lever and Needle..

A crucial part of carburetor maintenance and repair is replacing the metering diaphragm, metering lever, and metering spring on a two-stroke chainsaw carburetor. These parts are essential for controlling the fuel-air mixture, which has an immediate effect on an engine's performance. If you want to know how to put these items back into your carburetor then read on, otherwise watch the video for a faster and easier way of doing this. Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to correctly put them back together:
The Step-by-Step Guide
Safety first: Make sure your chainsaw is off, the spark plug is out, and the engine is totally cooled before beginning any maintenance. To safeguard your hands and eyes, you must wear safety goggles and gloves.
Depending on the model of your chainsaw, you might need to take out the air filter, the air filter cover, and the screws keeping the carburetor's cover in place in order to access the carburetor. By doing this, the carburetor and its parts will be visible.
Locate the diaphragm cover on the carburetor before removing the diaphragm. Typically, screws or bolts are used to secure this lid in place. Remove the screws with care, then put them aside.
Remove the Old Diaphragm: After removing the diaphragm cover, the old diaphragm will be seen. To carefully raise and remove the old diaphragm, use needle-nose pliers. Make a note of its orientation so you can install the replacement one in the same position.
Examine and Clean: Look for any dirt, debris, or damage on the diaphragm and the area around it. Make sure the surface is unobstructed and clean.
Replace the diaphragm by setting the new one in the exact same spot as the old one, making sure it is positioned correctly and isn't bent or wrinkled. When installing, take care not to harm the diaphragm.
Install the metering lever, which resembles a little arm and is frequently made of plastic or metal. Place the lever in the designated slot on top of the diaphragm.
The metering spring should then be installed and fastened to the other end of the metering lever. The lever needs to be under tension from the spring in order to move freely.
Diaphragm Cover Replacement: Carefully reinstall the diaphragm cover on the carburetor, being sure to line up the screw holes. Reattach the screws, tighten them firmly, but be careful not to overtighten them as this could harm the diaphragm.
Reassemble the Carburetor: Carefully reattach any other carburetor parts that may have been removed during the operation, such as the throttle linkage or fuel lines, as directed in the chainsaw's instruction manual.
Reassemble any leftover parts, such as the air filter and cover, and then test the chainsaw. To guarantee smooth operation, turn on your chainsaw, let it idle for a few seconds, and then gradually open the throttle.
Final Adjustment: To get the ideal fuel-air combination and performance, if necessary, change the carburetor settings in accordance with your chainsaw's manual.
For your chainsaw to operate effectively and safely, the metering diaphragm, metering lever, and metering spring must all be fitted correctly. Consult your chainsaw's handbook or call a qualified mechanic for help if you have questions about any step or run into problems.

I fit it about 30 minutes, and it is so difficult to fit it.😅
