It all has to be open. Yes, seen the cotter key plugged also. There is no grub screw in the side of the cap? Another version.
Fuel line too soft?

well didn't fix it , runs good until you put in the wood , will cut about 4" start slowing down and die, have to choke it to get it too start but can't get it to idle. will change filter and line, and may put kit in carb.

may have found problem, decided to take muffler off and look at piston and cylinder, both perfect, but noticed outlet on muffler was nearly completely closed. so pried it out where there is an that air flows through freely. my theory is that when muffler heated up it was closing enough to shut saw down. i haven't tried it yet , and I'm trying to stay , busy as i'm going for a second lung biospyin a couple hours. outlet metal was actually touching for most part, looks like someone was trying to open deflector and at same time closed outlet, ( hard to describe)
