jonsered question

[sawfixer78]

First of all, thanks for the info on the 910 and the 80. I have another question. The 910 runs good but when you shut it off it's really hard to restart. I believe it's flooded because I can see a puddle of fuel in the throat of the carb. There is also pressure in the fuel tank. When you unscrew the cap there is a substantial pressure release. I assume the two are related? Any ideas??

Thanks,
Len

Fixed it. Disregard my question.

No. You can't get off that easy. What did you do to fix it-'fessup!

I started out by checking the integrity of the gas tank with a vacuum tool. I thought something could have been cracked internally allowing the crankcase to pressurize the fuel tank. Nope! Then I tore into the carb and found the button on the bottom diaphram was sitting on top of the arm which opens and closes the needle. (It is supposed to be slid in behind it.) This was causing the needle to stick open and flood the heck out of it. I fixed it and it runs great. I can't wait to try it out!

Umm, I've never made that goof in a carb. I like the one where someone needed a screw for the metering cover so they took the one holding the needle lever down.

me neither

me neither. I'm glad someone did though. I got a free saw out of the deal and it didn't cost me a dime to get it running. Tried it out a little tonight. Cuts real nice.
