That's awfully nice of you. The lady friend doesn't get why I have multiples of things, fishing rods, chainsaws, boats, vehicles, you name it. Her dad is not a hands on guy at all, he watched me replace a door knob the other day because he had never done it beforeI've got six of em coming in on Monday according to the tracking information, I need to mention to the Mrs. that were giving a few as Gifts for Christmas but I feel your pain. I'll be long gone before I'll ever need to buy another 45cc saw again.

I haven't had a chance to tune mine yet but I believe it's set just as rich, did you remove the carb to slot the screws and where did you end up with them?piston looks good as far as i can see through the ports, I dont think you have to worry about getting one of these 4518's with a lean scored piston. This thing must be way fat or they mixed it 10:1, the plug is oil soaked and the muff is drenched in oil.
Edit- i finally got the needles slotted, the high was 4-1/2 turns out. the low was a more respectable 2-1/4 lol.
Well when you get a few minutes and see how that 45cc unit is put together I think you'll want a spare for the shelf. I figure

so connect the tank line to the carb line that goes to the primer? does the carb need fuel from the primer to run? or can the nipple on the carb be capped? no it was doing it when i was holding it level too but gets worse when pointed the bar down when i was rolling it around. it doesnt come out of it when i get into the throttle so im kind of thinking its a pickup issue. I dont have a pressure/vac tester, i'll see if i can borrow one if it comes to that.I think I'd start with pulling the lines off the primer bulb if possible and connecting them with a nipple and see if that lean condition is still there. Does it only do it with the bar pointing down, how about on it's side etc? The bulb on mine is not completely full, about 2/3's is just where it looks to be.
I wouldn't hesitate to pressure and vac check it, sure sounds like an air leak somewhere.
this is a purge primer then I believe.if the bulb has it's own seperate fitting on the carb it is a purge bulb. you have to block off the fitting at the carb and block off the hose coming from the fuel tank to the bulb. just putting a barbed fitting in between the lines will make it a pig to start if you could even get it started in the first place. if the bulb is an inline bulb it is a primer and can be bypassed by simply connecting the hoses with a barbed fitting. this will also make it harder to start.
My chain looks like new but my file was Broken in half Im contemplating buying a 16" bar for it once the chain is shot, its quite soft.Got mine put together, took some pics but too lazy to post now - deer season opens in a bit under 5 hours. Everything was there, despite a slash in the box from the spikes on the saw. Chain that came with was trashed, and definitely was not run on this saw. I'm betting when they sell these out the back door, they just grab a chain out of a bin and toss it in. Theres NO sign the powerhead has been near wood, other than having some bar oil still in it.
Labels came up the worse for wear in several spots from the packaging, but no biggie. Sometime in the next week, I'll tinker and get some videos, thinking stock as received (just for a baseline), then chain upgrade (Ore VXL), then carb properly tuned, then MM and retuned. Should be interesting to see the progression through each improvement. Once I'm there, I'll probably have to do a shootout against my strong running MM'd Dolmar 420.
Haven't comp tested it yet, but feels strong pulling on the handle.
Nite, 'Quakers.
