I have a good white spark. I had the needle "screwed down." I just raised it a half turn. The pics will show all of the gas that's welling up in the cavity where the fuel lines are. Attaching pics of everything. I took pics, reduced them down to 50K and I get an error message when I try to upload them. This is a Buffalo Wild Wings Commercial!
Reggie, we still do not know if your carb is supposed to have 1 needle or 2. If your carb should have two, and only has one, that could be the entire problem. Lets tackle this problem one piece at a time.
1) Does the carb have one needle and need two ?
2) When you installed the diaphram in the carb, does the diaphram "sit" on top of the metering lever or does it have a small "tit" that slides into a slot in the metering lever ?
3) What is the model number of the carb(letters and number on the side)? You must have ordered the rebuild kit w/ these numbers.
4) the saw has spark...no need to verify further, unless the saw is out of time.
5) Did you happen to take notes on the way the carb(and purge bulb) were plumbed with the fuel,impulse lines ?
6) Do not take parts out of one carb and put into another unless you verify the carbs are the same model number. When you installed the new carb kit, did you match the new gaskets and diaphrams with the old ones?
We are trying to help but this problem is so convoluted with different carbs, new kits, missing needles, etc....its impossible to accurately troubleshoot anything, not to mention we must not have enough "cosmic knowlege".
