480 is stihl muffed up ?

I have a Stihl that is 10-15 years older and I can still buy parts at a dealer IN STOCK!!!!! nothing is available for this POS. Tank vent, NLA. Oil pump seals, NLA. av bushings NLA.

Finally got it running strong, but now I cant make it stop piddeling on the floor cause the seals are NLA. It dribbles fuel when I crank or turn the saw on its side cause the vent is NLA. Oh well, its still a strong saw.

Should be some way to fix that ? Start a thread and ask about it ! Bet someone here knows !

im sure it is fixable. in fact, its probably something i did incorrectly while putting it back together after replacing the seals. Its a good clean saw, that i got a very fair deal on. It has new seals, new fuel line, carb kit, and 200+ comp. I will most likely just run a screw in the vent hose, and try to sort out the oil leak the best i can. After that it will be a matter of finding a bar thats a little better fit. this 20" hardnose wont last long.
