Hi everyone first post here, wish it was under better circumstances! I recently acquired a 034 super and i’m at my wits end with it. The dang thing just will not run no matter what I try and I feel that i’ve exhausted my options I know of.
For starters the thing looks great, fresh rubber all the way around (OEM) so no air leak that I could find. I’ve verified strong spark with a new plug, threw a new fuel line, filter, tank vent, and 2 different carburetors at it and still no luck. Piston looks great too, no scoring or concerning marks visible on intake or exhaust side.
I’m very suspicious that it’s simply not getting enough fuel. The impulse line is not cracked but i’m wondering if the fitting might be gunked up? I tried getting a small wire in there and pressing around but still no luck. Anyways the carb does have fuel in it if i take it apart but I did notice that if i remove the fuel line to the carb no fuel comes shooting out like all my other saws do. However if i unscrew the cap, blow in it then reseal the cap fuel will come spraying out of the line.
If i try and start it for a while then remove the plug, it is very slightly moist not soaking wet like a flooded saw would be. I’m very comfortable tuning my saws, and messing with that has also not worked. However if i pour a little fuel in the cylinder it will want to fire up right away with only a pull or two. I really am thinking it’s just not getting enough fuel inside the cylinder but I am absolutely stumped on why that is!
