I've been checking out my work again today and I still can't get any +/- reading on my gauge. I ended up getting the flywheel off (I'm not at all proud of the method used - but it's off now with minimal issues).
I used the soapy water method and I can't see any bubbles from the seals, muffler, plug, and at my intake block off. That was just using my mityvac's pressure though. I'm wondering if I should remove the sound insulation from my air compressor so that I can access the regulator and turn it really low (say 5 psi) then just keep spraying the soap.
The only stuff that I can't see really good and therefore get the soap on - is the area near the manifold and the cylinder and the impulse hose. The manifold was on quite loose - I managed to put 10+ extra turns on the screw on the clamp... but this didn't fix my pressure loss
(I'm actually most suspicious of the impulse hose and manifold - cos they are the areas I can't see tooj good)
This saw is certainly a challenge - and I guess that's a good thing! keeps me busy!!!
So I think I'm gonna pull off the carb box and other things - perhaps that will get me closer to the source of mischief...
