Carb keeps flooding after I disassembled, cleaned it, and installed new gaskets. I've tried adjusting the angle of the needle valve control lever several different ways, including setting it level with the diaphragm. I can sometimes get the saw to start and run at full throttle but after a couple minutes it dies out and there's fuel in the air intake.
> From attached photos, does the angle of the needle valve lever look right?
> Is it worth buying a new needle and lever, or is it likely the seat is worn?
> I haven't been able to find a replacement carb for the Jonsered 451 (vintage 1976-1983 I believe).
Suggestions?
