Hi all!
So while fixing another problem on this chainsaw I came across another one. The chainsaw runs fine for a while and then very suddenly stops.
I found out that there's pressure in the fuel tank, but when I release it by unscrewing the fuel cap, the pressure remains in the fuel line.
When I pull the carb away from the fuel line, fuel squirts out, even though the fuel cap has just been released??
Also, when I remove the tank vent line, the same happens, fuel gushes out.
So I'm a bit puzzled where this pressure is hiding itself How can the tank be pressurized when the cap is off?
Also how did the pressure get there in the first place?
When I release the pressure from the fuel line, the saw starts and runs fine, until... the same thing happens, very sudden stop.
Thanks for thinking along!
