Rebuilt the carb on Jonsered 451EV last year and it's been running awesome. But last time I used it, I put it down idling after cutting wood and while it was idling it died. Kind of acted like it ran out of fuel. So I filled it (it wasn't empty) and it still wouldn't start. Took apart the metering side of carb and it seemed dry (ish). Emptied the fuel tank, removed the carb, and thought I'd make sure the fuel line hadn't collapsed or clogged. Blew through it and couldn't get it to flow air...but when I took my mouth off it, it sprayed me with fuel. Rookie mistake (gas cap was still on). Removed the gas cap and it can flow air through it now. Thought I'd check the vent line...but HOW do I do that? As shown in photos, my finger is pointing towards the vent line. It comes up through the housing from the tank, snakes under where the carb mounts, and then exits through a "bulkhead" and disappears under the fins of the motor.
