So late last year I picked up an 1130G that was supposedly pretty close to running.
Wound up damaging the gas tank while trying to clean it... so there is a a slow gas tank leak not enough to be a problem but couple tablespoons will drip out if it sits for a while.
Replacement tank is 200 on ebay so I'm try a few different fixes as I'd rather part the saw out than pay that.
Also gear oil slow leak from the sprocket axle... got the replacement bearing that I expect will fix that... but gonna swap that on when I change out the sprocket to a .404.
So anyway, end of season, I rebuilt the carb, put the saw together and got it running and idling strong. Put it away figuring it would be easy to get going this spring. Finally got around to trying it and it starts easy and runs but maxes out at 4600 or so rpm and bogs down and dies in the cut.
Took carb off again and immediately notice Welch plugs are missing... replaced one (hence the really ugly welch plug)... but I think the other covers up the check valve, does it not... and that also appears to be missing? Dont recall one in the rebuild kit and cant find it looking through the leftover bits either.
Am I correct here? Need to order this check valve part for walbro sdc 1-78 carb I'm assuming?
Also, any clue what this adjustment screw under the choke lever does?
Finally, any recommendations on gas tank repair? I tried steel stik and it held a few months but pulled away from the body of the tank after that. I sanded up the mating surfaces and cleaned them... still didnt hold.
