took the carb back apart; took of the h and l and the throttle jets. Sprayed them with carb cleaner throughout the day yesterday. One more shot this morning and blew it out with air; you can see the carb cleaner and feel the air coming out where the gas would be.
Also, made sure the gaskets and diaphragms were installed correctly. The saw did the same thing.
Replaced the fuel line, the saw is doing the same thing. Starts under full choke, revs real high with half choke, pull trigger to shut choke off, and saw dies. no matter what I do with the carb adjustments, it does the same thing, just might do so at different rpms. I am kinda stumped now. What is next, the impulse line??
