I know it is a old thread, I had the same over fueling issue/symptoms and found the issue/solution and decided to share it on the appropriate thread so others might benefit. Threads never truly die unless a mod/admin shuts off posting. I've seen threads span 15 years building information...

Huge pta to work on, most services and repairs beyond a oil change requires a scan tool. Priming new fuel filters, crank sensor relearns clearing codes, dpf regens, checking trans fluid level all require a dealer level scan tool. Deleted, tuned in good running condition using the correct engine...

installing the gasket and impulse diaphragm backwards will make these HD carbs pump tons of fuel to the point even with the H needle only cracked will bog the saw from fuel. With the H all the way in he saw still runs and revs out. I just went through one driving me nuts! I caused my own delima...

remove the needle and use a pencil tip to scrub the seat clean and it will highlight any wear ridges, scratches etc

canola oil polymerizes with heat into burnt sugar like crap that bonds to the cylinder/flywheel fins that does not easily come off without great effort Mineral oil is natural and comes from in the ground, I'd argue its less toxic before addatives than rapeseed (canola) oil.

no idea if the rivets and tie straps are different metallurgically or if the tie straps just have a different imprint on from stamping. the chisels look identical in the pictures.

Thats what I purchased

Saw carbs drain the fuel back into the tank after a few days, week etc run non e fuel. if it sits in the saw over a month just shake it then dump it out and add fresh mix before trying to start. If its a cheap saw with tygon hoses it wont matter if you drain it or not, they rot out ever 3 years...

Pro tip...if you hang your saws overhead in your shed the wood floor becomes water proof and bug proof and your tools never rust thanks to the bar oil. A microfiber rag with a cap of oil squeezed into it spread out set a file on one end then roll it two turns and add another file and...

I ordered 2 25 foot rolls of 3/8 .050 a few weeks ago, one in regular and one in skip for a couple builds I was finishing up. The first thing I noticed is the grind on the chisels, they looked pretty good from all angles. No extra slop in the rivets, small channels in the drivers to help hold...

FYI if you own a ford 6.7L diesel you better change out the cp4 hpfp to a cp3 as preventative maint...or end up with a really ugly repair bill north of 10 grand...when the cp4 pump fails it throws a glitter party through every injector.

nice job, its a good feeling when everything comes together as planned!

24+ years of auto repair under my belt....the next 4 years will be interesting

The ford 6.7 has main bearing issues thanks to a huge air space in the pickup tube, oil pan and block the pump must fill before the lower end gets oil on start up. They also suffer upper oil pan leaks from the factory. All manufacturers are required to have warranties on the emissions systems to...

New trucks skimp on metal, their frames are no longer made as heavy and strong built to handle well beyond their rating New trucks are over burdened from epa emissions programming, exhaust modifications and cylinder deactivation technology Modern truck engines are being built to poorer standards...
