Thanks for the reply and the pic! I think I’m missing a gasket under the rubber pump piece. I’m not the first one into this thing.I haven't seen one of Brian's sets in person so I can't comment on what he's doing but the OEM parts are thin spring steel as you have discovered.

Mark how thick is the spring steel part?
I wonder who was the guy was who said..."let's just staple it" and another engineer said "hey that's a good idea".The OEM piece has a thin cork gasket stapled to it.
Very thin. I believe it's sharp enough to cut your finger.Mark how thick is the spring steel part?
There shouldn't be a reason to replace the metal valve unless rusted.After some observation of the pics, is there anything under the steel shim? All I have is the shim itself and it seem something is stapled with it.View attachment 444471
It was for the women who assembled them I assume.I wonder who was the guy was who said..."let's just staple it" and another engineer said "hey that's a good idea".
I’m not intending to replace mine. But someone had mess with it before hence gasket is missing.There shouldn't be a reason to replace the metal valve unless rusted.
Hello, may I ask how I would go about pressure testing. Do I seal at manifold in air box and exhaust. If this holds then check off and if not do I remove tank and repeat with bare intake . Next if fails I remove clutch and flywheel ( soap and water).When my saw was acting like that it ended up being an air leak. It wasn't pulling fuel because there was no pulse. The saw would even fire and run on prime.
