well i got the whole thing back together... Had to drill a hole in the top cover to fit the decomp button and I'm also missing the fuel tank vent hose and a new fuel line and a new bar stud that baileys was SUPPOST to be shipping me as soon as they came in stock, (like a week or two ago) but i havent seen them yet.
I figured no big deal right? The fuel line looked ok and I could test run and tune it without the fuel vent as long as the saw sat flat and level right?
Well, i had absolutely positively no luck starting this thing at all. Messed with it for 2-3 hours tonight. Looked in the carb a few times and couldnt figure out what was clogging it or messing with it. Finally i realized that the carb was bone dry big time and figured that the fuel line had to be clogged so i blew in it and sucked on it and had flow both ways.
So whats wrong????
Then FINALLY i discovered it. The fuel line had cracks in it where it makes a sharp bend to connect to carb. If the hose was off and straight when i was blowing and sucking, those cracks were closed. However when attached to the carb, the cracks would open up and the carb couldn't suck fuel, just air through the fuel line.
I used a cut up piece of Mcculloch SP125 Impulse line for a super ghetto temporary makeshift fuel line and got the thing running no sweat.
I still have some heavy carb tuning to do before i can get the thing to run, but i want going to try to knock that out in my buttoned up garage at 5 AM without hearing protection....
Anyhow, moral of the story, CHECK YOUR FUEL LINE!
Its probably bad. :msp_tongue:
