What model saw are you working on? If your carb leaks against the manifold, it's still an air leak that will cause a lean condition.
It’s an ms 260, I have put on order another Intake sleeve - 1113 141 1805What model saw are you working on? If your carb leaks against the manifold, it's still an air leak that will cause a lean condition.
I did exactly that and it wouldn’t seal. So strange... it must be the connection somewhere and somehow...You just need a metal block, no rubber piece to test the thing.
Make one out of an old junk carb..
Hey mate, That’s exactly what I did, and it leaked. It’s the only possible place it could Leake because the bung held pressure?put a piece of tire tube over it and bolt the carb on
When I pulled off the carb off both the ring and seal were totally bent? I guess I was a little too OTT snugging the carb because it leaked. Couldn’t get them straight again fully so when I try to get the large metal washer thing over the bolts that hold the carb, it wouldn’t go unless I squeezed them together (because the metal outer washer was bent)Put a piece of tire tube over it and bolt the carb on
No sense in buying the metal parts, they don't wear, unless a gorilla plays with them.

Honestly, I don’t know either, but it was (still is even after straightening it. You’d Think that you can just take both out and just have that rubber manifold in place and seal it with the carb, but it doesn’t work? I guesss both are there for a reason right... replacing both is the next logical step that I can think of. After than, I’m lost for ideas..Not sure how those can get "bent".
The ones on my 30 year old 038s are fine
Yes the 5-6mm recommended spacing on the clamp ends, then I snugged it down all the way and made no difference. Literally the only way it holds air is if I stick that orange thing down the manifold lolYou do have a clamp tightened pretty snug on the cylinder and intake right?
