So I can now envision the problem, but I too am stumped as to what could be causing this.

I must be the outer edges of the clutch shoes that are pushing outward. And they would not do that on their own, so some part deeper in is the culprit. I can only suggest start by removing the clutch, and suspect anything that does not look or feel right. Pictures here and we can possibly help. Good Luck!

I put starter cord in cylinder and used my impact drill to remove the clutch.

Harley. Please leave this conversation. You are not helping.

How about the way the chain, bar end and drive sprocket are lining up? Is it possible the bar end is tracking the chain to the outside of the saw and pulling the clutch drum with it? If the clutch goes together properly and looks normal, then with the engine off and the brake off, run the chain around the bar by hand and see if the clutch drum stays where it should.
When a carb is flooding and it has been assembled correctly with the control lever at the right height (does the lever have a fork that has to hook into the diaphragm dimple?) and the gaskets on the right side of the of the diaphragms, then it is usually because the inlet valve is not seating properly. A simple pressure test will help.
 
Harley I answered your questions. You keep asking questions and providing no advice.

The rebuild was 100%. I split the case to fix a bad gasket.
The clutch drum does this with and or without the bat and chain on it. I guess I’ll just replace the clutch and see what happens. Does the clutch matter which side faces up?

The carb was removed during the rebuild and re installed after. The only thing I had touched is the idle screws. It worked fine before. Could I just have it adjusted wrong? I adjusted it to run rich for break in.

Yes the washer is there. Under the plastic drive. The crankshaft bushing even has the o-ring on it. Lol.
