[Bedford T]

I was trying to draw the 380 posts in the 660 thread to here. So they did not have to dig for it

That is a nice fix.
Do you prime it on every start with out the choke?

No.When it's warm it's ok to start.
Only prime on cold start.

Anyone with the pre built g388?
Is it more like the old 038 or like the ms380.
I know a guy that has ran that style for 30yrs and he want a new one.

The 388 is a blue 380. I have yet to verify the cylinder size.

Dang. Theirs a few parts that can’t be obtained easily over here for the 380.
One is the airfilter I think.

Okay my 380 runs good but when I start to put it up it leaks fuel down onto the handle I checked the vent the vents good gas is coming out of the carburetor between the air filter and the carburetor one of my local still guys told me to check something inside the carburetor is this something I can fix or is it time to get a new carb

Ridge I'm not clear how you're handling this but I've got a question did you pressure test the fuel tank and do a vacuum test?

Did a pressure test on the tank it was good
Took out the vent to inspect it did vacuum test on the vent it was good
Don't know if you remember for my earlier post but I originally thought I had a bad tank on this 380
After receiving some testing tools was able to go in there and find out gas was leaking from the carburetor
When I turn the saw off remove the air filter and let it sit you can see gas start to puddle up inside the carburetor

I know you think you did a vacuum test but you need to do the test while it's in place not while it's removed for various reasons.

Test that and see if there is a difference.

Put your pressure gun on the carb nipple and see if it’ll hold any pressure. Sounds like your needle maybe leaking

 

[Bedford T]

I am wondering if pressure is building up. That would have been my next step.

I had trouble on mine and fuel would leak around the FarmerTec filter. He said he put a gasket in between if I read it right. Lot going on. Hoping to take small steps.

It should let vacuum in and no pressure out. It could build up several pounds of pressure sitting in the sun.

 

[Bedford T]

Fuel creates pressure, the grade of gas contributes. They figured that on the the rescues right, the spray.

Put pressure to the nipple of the carburetor it will not build up any pressure if the needle is stuck open is that something I can open up the carburetor and remedy

Try this:
Professional Gas chainsaw 72cc electric chain saw petrol saw with 18" bar https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/192377847430

It needed some tweaking but works great.

It’s not sealing. Take the cover off and needle out. Hopefully somethings just hung under it.

Good thought I had been cutting some wood
It was about 30 degrees that day 6 almost dark I was not in the Sun
I also release the cap a couple of times because I thought it may have been building up pressure
decided to take the cover off and filter off and check the makeshift gasket that I made because the filter does not fit tightly to the carb I do have another filter on order as I was sitting there I noticed gas was leaking from the carb opening I tipped up the sawto let the gas out and watched again as gas started to puddle in carb

 

[Ridge1]

Okay I disassembled the carb didn't find anything under the PIN but I did find a pinhole in front of the throat plate
Not sure if that's supposed to be there for some reason

 

[Ridge1]

Is it normal for the throat plate to be out of round and maybe that's holding the throttle open
