Is the check valve working , I'll bet the carb is screwed.

Where's the check valve?
I just had it apart again. I see no where for a governor. Also no welch plugs.
If anyone has a 020 carb and/or coil, I'd be happy to pay shipping both ways just to try them out on my saw, even if you don't want to sell them.
Thanks for all the input guys!
Thanks for the tips. The saw has had the B&C on it numerous times today. I gave up on reinstalling it every time. I'll try the pressure test tomorrow. Wait a minute. I don't have a pressure pump, only a vacuum pump.
Looking at your video, I'm not convinced that some more tuning on the H, L and LA won't fix it. It sure seems to start easy enough and that's a good sign that you're pretty close.

I've never had one of those down and was just going by the IPL.....it is listed as #20
Trust me, I've tried everything! Actually, I can run the H needle all the way in and it doesn't run a bit differently. I didn't mean to hold that bit of info from you guys. I've just tried so many things it's hard to remember.
Is switching the high/low needles on the carb an option? Saved me once on a 08s some time back
:check:
I tried that too. It can't be done. The long needle only fits in the H hole.
Look out, there is more of the same out there. Bad rap for the 020av!

I saw that one. Sounds like he's got similiar problems. I will beat this thing, even if I have to pay $83 for a new carb, lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am planning on bidding on this one, LINK. So please don't bid it up on me, lol! It should have a good coil, and perhaps a good carb.
I don't think there are any hidden passages on this carb. The removable plate makes that possible.Did you soak the carb in carb cleaner overnight at any point? Just reaching now!

If I have to see the insides of this carb one more time...................!!!!!!!!!!!! The link to lawnmowerpros gives a great pictorial of how this carb works.If you can run the H needle all the way inAnd no change,
Then fuel is getting through the carb somehow.
I would say it rules out ignition problems.
I think to save yourself some time i would try
a known good carb and go from there.
Myself i would disassemble the carb again and just
look at it, Study it, all the passages have to go somewhere.
You need to know exactly how the carb works before you can repair a problem like this.
Just a thought.
