QUESTION: Hello John;

I have a small sears chain saw that is really a headache.It has a walbro wt carb.I dismantled the carb and blew out all the jets with compressed air.I installed a new kit and checked meter lever and replaced carb.I can get the engine running and can peak it out with the L needle but as soon as I replace the carb cover it dies.It will do it with the air filter removed and I have cleaned all sawdust from the air intake. Any help will be greatly appreciated.Bill.

Answer
Hello Again Bill:

Go to this Site Addy, http://www3.sears.com/ and Enter the Model Numbers in the Upper Left Search Box and Click Go. Then Visually Verify the Equipment and Click Continue. From this Page you can View Diagrams or Parts Lists for you Equipment. Select the Main Frame File for the Diagram. Make Sure the Metering Body Cover Bolts (#15) are Tight and the Gasket (#17) is Good. Check the Cylinder Bolts (#70) are Tight and the Gasket (#53) is Good. Remove the Muffler and Inspect the Exhaust Port for Carbon Blocking the Exhaust Port. Check the Muffler and Spark Arrestor Screen (in the muffler) for Blockage Also. Did you Soak the Carburetor in Carburetor Cleaner. If No, then the Carburetor can Still be Dirty.  Remove, Disassemble and Soak the Carburetor Overnight in Carburetor Cleaner (I Use Gunk). I have Found that Most People can Use a Breakdown/IPL and Disassemble the Carburetor Enough for Proper Cleaning. You Only have to Remove the Bowl, Float Pin, Float and Needle Valve and Any Adjustment Screws that Go Into the Carburetor Body. The Welch Plugs Do Not have to be Removed. Then Soak the Carburetor Body and Parts in a 1 Gallon Can of Gunk Carburetor Cleaner Overnight. The Can has a Parts Tray Inside it for the Small Parts. Once the Carburetor and Parts are in the Cleaner, you can Replace the Lid for Safety and to Prevent Accidental Spillage. Then Blow Out the Passages with Compressed Air. Install New Parts if Required. Hope this Helps. I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Thanks.

Good Luck

John
