Need help guys

Can it mess up if I didn’t take it off or mess with it though?

Pop the diaphragm cover off and see if its not stiff as a board

If, a big if, it's not the carb the only other thing that I can think of to cause flooding might be a clogged fuel tank vent. I am sure that you have checked all the fuel system components lines, filter, routing, etc.
Of course my usual cause of flooding is I forget to flip my kill switch back to RUN.

So here’s an old trick I learned for starting a flooded saw, turn the saw upside down hold the throttle wide open and try starting. I usually have the bar on a log when I do this. Works every time for me!

Or wedge you foot under throttle to hold wide open and start pulling until it pops. Then let throttle down and start. By chance is your muffler screen plugged.

I don't have much experience with ported saws but is there any chance the compression is so high now that there is too much pulse pressure and it's pulling too much fuel? I agree with others, either stiff diaphragm or the arm is too high, or maybe a piece of dirt got into the needle?

maybe a piece of dirt got into the needle?

if i had to guess, this would be my first thing to check. real easy to pressure test the needle.

I pulled the carb off, diaphragm looks good. I’m wondering if the pulse is too strong now as well. Would moving the arm fix that?

Dr. Kildare, Dr. Kildare the pulse is to strong, LOL

Ok, she’s running now. I did what Brad said. Cleaned the carb a bent the metering arm down just a little. Put it together and it fired right up. Thanks to all that helped!

Video? Not that we don't believe you, we just like to hear saws run good.

I’ll take one tomorrow, it’s dark here now. I’ll put my ported 372 and modded 394 on there for good measure too!
