Yes, turning counter clockwise should slow the idle down. That could be the whole problem.

Sorry, wrong saw. I'll see if I have one for the 435435 not 345 .
Found an old 435 carb. Here's how it works.
OMG, not an air leak!Your throttle rod appears to not have full movement, is it connected correctly to the trigger in the rear handle?
You were right . Thanks for recommending to revisit it...granted buying a new carb for 15$ would have fixed it too and i wouldn’t have wasted 6 hours dickering with it.OMG, not an air leak!

Thanks!
It’s fixed! Here is what was going on. No vacuum leak, it just all had to do with what seems to be multiple issues going on with the throttle and not knowing how much to adjust the idle screw.
Running demo.
Is it reasonable to expect it to bog some while it’s still not really hot? The bog seemed to go away after it was nice and warm. But if it sat for 10-15 min in 40 degree weather it would bog.
Easy enough to overlook, been at this for a very long time, hundreds of saws repaired and still find new things. I seen your throttle was not acting right in your first vid, it was not returning to the idle position. While not knowing your model of saw intimately , not having it in my hands, your short vid not showing the various levers on the side of the carb and going off the short stroke the throttle lever/linkage was making I could discern it was not retreating far enough to come back to idle position. Many saws I have worked over has had a problem with the throttle rod not installed correctly in the trigger of the rear handle, the linkage would allow the carb to open fully but not return to the idle position, Good on you for following through on getting it right and weeding through all the posts in your thread.
