Husqvarna 395XP Carburetor Flooding

[jeffbecky1]

I have a 395XP that has a carburetor that floods the cylinder and even see gas in the air intake elbow. Any experts on these carbs. Rebuild? aftermarket carb?

You have a leaking needle and seat in the carb and/or a stiff metering diaphragm holding the needle open. Time for an OEM rebuild kit or a new carb. Pressure test the fule inlet on the carb. It should hold 7-10 psi indefinitely. If not go find and fix the leak.
