If those studs are the same ones that mount the carb, there have to be nuts somewhere that clamp the carb to the intake block. Hope you aren't trying to start the saw with a loose carb?So, trying the other carb now...crossing fingers.
It is a different model than the other.
And...the mystery continues, sigh...
It is probably something stupid simple. Possibly the previous owner screwed something up that I'm just not seeing.

Ha, no, wouldn't do thatIf those studs are the same ones that mount the carb, there have to be nuts somewhere that clamp the carb to the intake block. Hope you aren't trying to start the saw with a loose carb?
OK, tried that...taped off the intake and gave it 5 pulls...no joy.Block the intake side of your carb and pull a couple times, it usually helps flush the lines out with the natural vacuum of the motor. Some carbs have an internal screen that supply the vacuum chamber to pull the fuel, I have found that and the float chamber clogged before.
Yea, first thing I double-checked...gasket and diaphragm placement.Next thing would be to talk dirty and slap it around a little, have you checked orientation and all the gaskets and covers? a small tear is a diaphragm would limit your vacuum to pull the fuel
No, both were non running, basically pts sawsView attachment 982854View attachment 982855
Just pops when some gas directly in the cold via sparkplug hole.Does the saw ever do more than just pop if you give it a prime of gas in the carb throat?
(does it ever run for a few seconds with a prime?)
Uh, no, lolIs this what you mean by pts saws?
PTS is a common, normal, and often adaptive response to experiencing a traumatic or stressful event. Common occurrences, like car accidents, can trigger PTS as well as more unusual events like military combat or kidnapping. Almost everyone who experiences a scary situation will show at least a few signs of post-traumatic stress. That’s because our brains are hard-wired to tell our bodies to tense our muscles, breathe faster, and pump more blood when we’re under intense stress. This is the “fight-or-flight” response that prepares your body to deal with a threat or challenge in the environment by pumping more blood and oxygen to your muscles, and it shuts down non-critical functions like digestion. This fight-or-flight response is a normal reflex during and sometimes even after a traumatic event, which is why PTS is considered a normal reaction and not a mental illness.
PTS Symptoms and Behaviors
If you’re experiencing post-traumatic stress, your heart may race, hands shake, you may sweat or feel afraid and nervous. After the stressful event, you might avoid or be leery of engaging in that activity again, you may have a bad dream about the event you just experienced, or you may feel nervous in a situation that reminds you of the unpleasant event. Although they can be momentarily intense, symptoms of PTS usually subside a few days after the event and won’t cause any prolonged meaningful interference with your life. One positive outcome of experiencing PTS may be that you behave more carefully in a potentially dangerous situation in the future.
PTS Treatment
Since post-traumatic stress is not a mental disorder, treatment is not required as the symptoms will likely improve or subside on their own within a month. However, you should talk to a healthcare provider if you feel troubled by your symptoms — if they’re interfering with your work, school, or relationships or if you’re engaging in reckless behavior such as drinking or using drugs to cope with symptoms.
