A few years back I built a 6401 BB NWP kit. I had troubles getting it to start back then but finally got it started and "tuned" the best I could. I don't have much to cut around here so it sat for a while and went to start it up this week. I can't get the damn thing started. It ran fine before the swap. I also ended up pulling the carb and cleaning it up when I was having starting troubles last time.
Here is my original thread:

It floods anytime I use the choke. I want to get to the root cause of this and get it running reliably.
Where do I start? I have spark, pulled the muffler and plug and the piston/cylinder look fine. Should I rebuild the carb? It was stored without fuel so unlikely gummed up. Could there be a leak in the crank case and could it cause this? When I was originally tuning the saw I didn't notice the break was on and the clutch got warm (and I'm replacing the drum as it is loose on the crank. Could I have heated up a seal and caused a leak?
Anybody in the Austin area with expertise that I can borrow? Anybody that runs a company in the community interested in taking shipped saw, repairing/tuning, and shipping back? I would pay but only reasonable amounts.
