It does seem to twist in the fork, cuz there’s tension on it from being about 1/8 to a 1/4 inch too long I can position it differently in the fork but it wiggles and changes when I use the trigger

Is it just bound up on the throttle. Keeping it from rotating into place. I just did a rebuild on an 038AVS last week. It kinda did the same thing just wiggling it around it all fell into place
I guess I probably need to pull it out and compare with original carb, although I suspect I will have to bend rod shorter
Yeah. Don’t do it. It’s just bound up probably on the trigger.
I guess I will remove triggerinii handle cover and take a look. In the morning
It’s one of those things it has to be just right. If you bend the linkage. It’ll probably never work right
Makes me wonder if I managed to install operator presence lever incorrectly

Think it’s the linkage hitting inside the handle. Loosen carb and move the trigger without forcing it.
I will try that ,, Tomorrow
Well, feeling pretty silly right about now 
. May have to change my name and leave the country. Played with original and new carb. Whoops. Discovered that I had the master switch in the choke/high idle position so of course it wouldn’t return to low idle. Sorry to waste your time. Hope you were entertained Will try starting later when everyone is awake

. Good thing I'm old
. Good thing I'm oldStarts and runs nice, idles nice and low. have not put a bar on it yet. YAY
I was wondering if that mite have been the case. At least it was something simple.Well, feeling pretty silly right about now
Now that I put a bar on it, I'm guessing it has an air leak. Never have replaced seals before, and I'm undecided as to whether to try it on this saw or send it on down the road to someone with more skill confidence and patience than I. Is this an easy saw to do oil seals on?
Have you made any adjustments to the carb?
Yes, I did try to make some adjustments, but it was tricky to adjust because the idle speed kept changing. I could not get a consistent idle going. It was generally tending to idle too fast. I have not tested it for air leak. I may try to sell it as is.
One thing you could try is back the idle screw out to the point the saw dies. If it does you likely don’t have an air leak, at least not a large one. I’ve noticed the Bing 48 and HE-19 are pretty touchy on the mixture screws.
thanks, will try that trick. Btw, when I was young I went to college at evergreen and lived in a tipi! ( Just noticed your Tacoma location)
