What's on your bench?

[Canadian farm boy]

Never touched the carb. The saw ran great before the mods. I'm hoping it's an easy fix

It's obviously something you changed.
Base gasket or carb boot

Ya that kinda stuff drives me crazy til I find it. How bout the cylinder not quite clearanced enough and not seating fully? Just some ideas to look for

 

[Keith Gandy]

When the obvious isnt there ill use soapy water and if that wont find a leak I just fill the sink up and dunk it. That will tell u quick

 

[jmssaws]

Cylinder hitting is a great possibility.
Lot a clearance grinding needs done on a hybrid

 

[jmssaws]

If you did much grinding on the cylinder where the transfers are there could be a pin hole.

I bet the cylinder is hitting and causing a leak though. But there was that one time I was wrong.

 

[Canadian farm boy]

I don't think there are any pins holes but maybe. I'll find out tonight when I do the pressure/vac test. I did however find out the hard way about how thin the intake is. I had to do a little JB repair. The hole was minor and the JB seemed to fix it up. I'm wondering if the jb repair might be keeping the intake tube from sealing perfect

1st place ld check. Should hold just fine though

 

[jmssaws]

I've ground through there a few times and jb fixed it.

I had a 390 once doing that and I done my math wrong and didn't cut the flange enough and it was holding the cylinder up.

Wd-40 is a much faster way to find a leak,start it with the covers off and spray till you find it. It will be obvious.

Hadnt tried that. Will it idle down when it finds the leak?

Yep. Easiest way to find exactly where ones leaking.

I bought a new mighty vac a year ago and haven't taken it out of the package.

I have a mighty vac too. Never use it hardly. Mine gets submerged!! Lol! Ill try the wd40 though

 

[jmssaws]

Vac test only tells you that it's leaking not where it's leaking.
