Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[sean donato]

I'm not really familiar with the carb on these saws but is there a check valve/ball of some sort that might be leaking? Can you get a mirror/borescope in there to see where the gas is coming from?

I replaced the main check screen with a nos ball check kit. It's kinda a pain to install, but it's also kinda hard to screw it up at the same time. (I had this same issue before I rebuilt the carb.)
Yes, I may be able to get a little mirror in there, but I'm fairly certain it's leaking out of the main jet.

Is it scrounging when the wood comes to you? Was mowing the lawn when I saw my father in law pull up on his lawn tractor with a trailer load of rounds. An addendum to my previous scrounge at his place. My son helped me split it all up. Got about a face cord of silver maple and a good bit of pine which I split small for kindling
