Hello to all... new here, first post, all though I have snooped here for a while now. I have a chraftsman 42cc 18 inch chainsaw, I know it's a throw away! I also own many stihl chainsaws aswell. Tore the saw apart put new fuel lines and a carb on it, I tuned it and it runs great for a while then fuel leans out and starves the carb I notice it will idle down and not bog WOT when I pull the fuel cap off. The cap is the duck bill style of venting. It appears to be in good shape. They seem to be problematic. So I was thinking, I have left over fuel vents from other stihl builds. Do you think its possible to drill a hole through the top of the gas tank and vent it like a stihl? Than just screw a machine screw into the cap vent to delete it? Has anyone tried this? Hoping to have this cheap saw as a lender when my brother in laws ask! Lol.
