I do know that Jeremy, but the only thing I can figure is tank pressure was causing pressure at the carb and fuel was leaking from/through the gaskets in the carb. This was only happening when the saw was sitting unused and got even slightly warmer than ambient temp...e.g., sitting in sun, in my toolbox, or in my shop. Is there something else that could be causing this? I'm open to suggestions, it's just making a mess

Looking back, I see I probably came off a tad harsh on my reply. Totally didn’t mean it that way.....at all.

Like I said earlier, my 461 was doing the same.
And both carbs passed pressure test with flyin colors.

Gaskets leaking aren’t unheard of, Obviously the POP is greater than the gaskets sealing capabilities otherwise you’d have a case full of fuel.

My 461 had the same exact signs as yours. Carb covered in evaporated mix fuel (residual oil), carb box & handle the same.

No problem brother, you weren't harsh at all. I think you nailed it--Gaskets were leaking at pressures lower than carb popoff. It just took me writing a novel, or Willvel as Heath called it, to try to explain it...

Naw, his arm was the jumper cable what started up the angry Huskavarnee tree-forty-six. I guess it did sound like he had an injury or something the way I said it...
