I'm sorry if this is redundant, searching through the threads there's a ton of people who have messed up their saw during the rebuild process... And a very disappointing 9 part youtube video
I got it for $40 someone straight gassed it. The rest of the saw is in great shape.
I put a meteor 390 P&C in it and opened up the muffler. Used Genuine Dirko on the bottom end, replaced the fuel and impulse lines with OEM too... I had Rebuilt the carb in the process, everything was fairly clean and free from corrosion to begin with besides the sticky gasket. I replaced the needle and spring and tried adjusting it several times, but it keeps flooding. (I have an oem replacement carb in the mail)
I just got a second to fiddle with it and took the carb off and the fuel is trickling out while it's disassembled. Spark plug is out, carb is off. Puddle of fuel on the bench! I also tried running it with and without the tank vent and cracking the fuel cap.... Same thing runs for a few seconds then floods out.
What could I possibly have messed up to get this bad of a flooding problem? I had this problem with my Harley and I fixed it by adjusting the needle height.
