Hey bish you got any snow yet

Just switched from rain.

So far so good.
Carb is dry. Choke and high idle, popped on first pull, high idle, ran on second pull.
Hopefully this thing is fixed.

I played with carbs today a bit also, will post in What's on your Bench.

I had a new 661 here that flooded bad when sitting or when used over 80 degrees. It was unusable. I polished the needle seat with a q tip and ever so slightly lowered the metering lever. It stopped flooding after that.

Mothers mag polish? Used it for lots of gun parts...

anything with a little grit. ive used toothpaste, pumice hand soap and valve grinding compound.

I used a small amount of the reddish colored polishing compound that came with my dremel tool.

Saw is still good. No fuel puddled inside of it, popped on 2 pulls and ran on third this morning.

Maybe my last GFY is what did it.

Sounds like you resolved it, congrats!

I remember I got so frustrated with one saw I just changed the whole tank handle, don't know if it was the tank vent, or fuel line, or impulse line, but the problem was resolved!

So far.
I thought the issue was resolved a few weeks ago, only it decided to come back and haunt me.
Time will tell.
