I went through the fuel hoses and they held vacuum.  I did find a leak at the primer bulb base and replaced it.  I thought I found the leak but I was wrong.


Impulse for the fuel pump goes through the intake so no pulse hose.  I didn't rebuild the carburetor. 


I posted on another site and got some good information.  The initial numbers in the 80's should have been an indicator that the saw was pushing more fuel becaise it had a leak.  The crankshaft bearings have plastic cages and one could have failed.  The next step is to pull the seals and take a look.
