Husqvarna 36 flooding help

[Ryan_289]

So I acquired a parts saw a few weeks ago that seemed to have good compression and spark. I decided to fix it up to make a small limbing/loaner saw. I flooded it before I put the fuel line in by pouring too much gas in the carb. It fired up the next day for a few seconds till the gas was gone. I've got it all together now and I cant get it to hit. It gets extremely flooded. So much so that it will blow out of the muffler and pour out of the spark plug hole if the exhaust and intake ports are open. What am I missing here? I'm in too deep to stop now! I should have just bought one of the Ebay jonsereds lol.

Is it in the sun? Pressure buildup in the tank. Weak spring in the carb. Needle seat is worn or cracked

Which carb do you have? It's either a WT-239 or WT-350. 239 initial settings are 1 and 1 while the 350 is 1 1/2 and 2. Check your settings and if they're close to those you'll need to test the carb for a leaking inlet needle.

Check lever height and gasket for correct install.

It's a 239. I put a kit in it but the needle in kit was too big. The needle tip looked good. It was at 1 1/2 on the h and l screws, I backed it up to 1 but it's still flooding like crazy after a few pulls. How do I test the carb?

I probably should have just got a new carb. Are the aftermarket ones decent or do i need to get a new warlbro?

I’ve bought about 10 amazon carbs so far, no issues yet

How do I do that?

If you work on Walbro carbs you’ll need this. If you also work on Zamas there’s a tool for those also.

Well I went down the rabbit hole on this little saw. I was too deep to stop! New bar, chain, clutch, sprocket, brake cover, fuel lines , filter and finally a new zama carb and it seems to be purring like a kitten! I hope it cuts good, I damn near could have bought a new one but I wanted to see if I could make it go again. I'll cut some wood tomorrow after work and report back.

Anyone else get into the same situation where it's to late to stop?

Anyone who has works on saws for any length of time has been down that road.

Cut a few trees down this evening with my 026. Tried the little husky out on some limbs. Saw cuts good. You definitely cannot push it like you can a big saw but it will do exactly what I want it for. I might play with the carb settings a bit. It's just a little bit slow on the throttle.

When you cut fire wood with that muffler you can set it on fire at the same time..
