OK, I just finished putting a new AM 346xp topend on my 350. The saw needed a new topend because someone put straight gas through it. The 346xp kit was a nice quality kit. First I took the saw all apart ( minus pulling the crank out ) and cleaned and inspected it. Put a new topend on it, new carb, all new intake pieces, new fuel line, fuel and air filters, also checked the fuel tank vent, which is ok. I tested the spark which is good and strong, has 110-120 lbs of compression, pulled the flywheel to see it has moved out of time, and it was fine. Saw will not start no matter what. It sounds nice and strong put will not fire, will pop once, in about 15 pulls , but will not start. Its got Spark, Compression, fuel, but won't start. I know its getting fuel, because the plug is wet went I remove it, and if I pull on it for awhile gas will come out the muffler. I have removed the stops on the carb jets also. I can't think why this saw won't run. It wont even fire with starting fluid. Any ideas? Thanks, Chad
