I've got a Remington Super 754, I have cleaned and rebuilt the carb. It will start and idle well, and cut okay with a little smoke when the saw is held upright with the bar parallel to the ground.
When the saw is running at WOT with the bar pointing towards the ground, the saw will run very lean and fast, and eventually die.
When the saw is running at WOT and the bar is pointing up, like you are brushing above your head with it, it will run very rich, smoke a ton and die.
When the saw is running at WOT and the saw is tipped on it's side, like your cutting a stump with it, it will run okay with a little smoke. With the saw tipped on it's other side, I get the same result.
So...
What causes this? Seals? Reed-Valves? Carburetor? The P/C are in good condition, and it has strong compression. It makes hot spark with a new plug. I also cleaned the tank vent and checked the fuel line for cracks.
I know how to tune the carb...
I already restored/painted this saw, so I wanted to pinpoint the problem before I scratch all of the shiny paint trying to fix it...
Any help is appreciated!
