What I’ve found that helps me is on the line of what Stump Shot said. Throttle closed restricting air through carb slowing mix down and dropping out causing the puddling. My fix for that is to drill a small hole in the throttle plate to let more air through and speed up velocity so there is no...

Leaking Welch plug, bad Nozzle

I’ve got two and want more. They are a good fit for me, I like their function (super reliable), not one malfunction, accurate out of the box. These are definitely the best band for the buck out there. I have Smiths, Berettas, Springfields, and like the Canik best.

You know messing with it will VOID any warranty. A lot of people don’t realize this and end up regretting trying to do their own fix.

Flood the cylinder with mix and shake then dump out. Refresh fuel in tank and try to start it. If it starts let it run to get good and warm to get all moisture out and the mix cleans any left over moisture out. I’ve done this with flooded saws and saws that have been dropped into a lake with...

I’m thinking it’s the same Nozzle by the build specs. When you pressurized the carb put it in water/fuel to see if you can see where it’s leaking at. You’ll know as you’ll be able to see bubbles coming out of the Venturi from it or any other spot on the carb. Possibly not the carb at...

Did you replace carb? To get around reprogramming you can use the electronics off the old carb and put on the new one and save the new one Incase you ever need it. I do that all the time with no issues.

First, confirm the cylinder is good and usable. Just pulling it over can be deceiving. You want a good base to start with and as you’ve said it’s had a hard abused life. Even at that you could put a new top end on it. Not a hard saw to work on and like said before a good place to start.

The worst part for me was drinking the solution…. That can be tough. I use Crystal light (lemon) flavoring…. Nothing red. After the cleanse the procedure is simple. I had a GIST Tumor 5 years ago and went through an upper and lower twice. Then in August 2024 the CT scan showed something...

These really help a person out looking for issues!! I have a Depstech, that has the camera, video and split screen with a 90° lense. I can select both views or each individually. Also light intensity adjustment. Only thing I don’t like is the length of cable… thinking 16 feet but I keep it...

It will need the like coil number to match the carb.

This is my Izzy, she’s 10 and helps me with EVERYTHING!!!

No different than taking your vehicle in when a Check Engine Light comes on…. Hard to diagnose without being hooked up to where to find out issues. Just like an Auto tune saw… you can see running issues and what’s been going on with it….and that requires time and equipment to do. Time is money...

45mm bore, OEM p/c so this would be a 51

I believe I may have one I’ve saved…. I won’t know for sure until Tuesday when I go back to the shop.
