Gents, I know the this is likely a no-brainer for y'all Sawmen, so here's what I got:
My good old saw sat for 4 months since I last used it, and I had it running strong on a recent carb kit in late Fall. It has started for me after periods of idleness for 6 years.
I gave it a new plug, new gas with a shot of Seafoam, cleaned the air filter, and can see that the gas filter is good. After pulling till my arm is tired a few times, I pulled the plug and see that it is wet with gas. I find the air filter screen is dripping gas.
I have a bunch of work for this saw, and don't want to buy a new one. I need to avoid the local shop if I can. Any suggestions as to what's wrong?
Thanks in advance, Roly
