The throttle linkage has two similar ends but they are not the same. The carb end is more concentric with its bend. The trigger end is more open on the end so it will slide in or out of the trigger hole.
Just carefully tightened the screw holding the pump side cover a little more and continued assembling. I believe the problem here was just that the gasket was new and dry. Once some fuel gets to the carb, the gasket will swell slightly and seal it up. If it had been difficult to tune or wouldn’t run properly after assembly, then I would know that something was still leaking and I’d have to go back into it to investigate
Excellent video and tips. I have that saw. I had oil lines backwards too. TY
The filter would get sucked into the carb without that stop plate against the carb.
Good video, Thanks

The stiff plate on the reed assembly is to stop the reed from over extending.
Great video.
I just picked up one of these but it’s siezed up.
Have to see if I can find a piston etc for it.
Very good vibeo
So how did you get the carburetor to stop leaking?
