Before you go off and tell me a 41 is a waste of time I picked it up for cheap and need a little saw. It looked to be in very good condition with very little use. The guy didn't know much about it because he wasn't expecting me to want to buy it from him, I was there to help a friend load a metal lathe he bought from him. Anyhow, I pulled it apart completely and everything looks in good order other then the diaphragms and gaskets in the carb. I changed those out, checked all holes and needles and everything looked good. The saw wouldn't start at all except if I squirted fuel down the carb. A few more trials with pulling the carb apart and making sure everything was good and still nothing. Compression is about 140 psi, it has a new plug with lots of spark and the damned thing wont go. One last time I pulled the carb apart and decided to look under the welch plug, it appeared the previous person to work on this saw mashed the plug so far to block the inlet but I'm not certain.
Put the saw back together and tried starting it, it'll start with a squirt down the carb and run if I have it at full throttle but the minute I release the throttle it'll die, then wont start again unless I squirt it.
Ideas?
