I always wanted to try a RWJ4 with the divider led in for a better signal on maybe a 346 or 365. Seems the divider would let the Venturi only be half size to pull fuel

I cannot get my needle to hold pressure. I will try something different next time. This one will never be used on a saw for sure.

Try it....You might be surprised

I have tried carburetors with needles that wouldn't seal before and they are very troublesome. If you try to adjust to compensate for it the saw will run rich/lean/rich/lean...... At least that's what has happened to me.

On E-85 The carbs I have are really rich and I lean them by adding nitro until I gain adjustability on the H&L speed jets. Its usually around 25%-30% nitro by volume by the time I can get a reliable adjustment. I do have one carb I run on nitro and alcohol, I would like to have more.
