Check the gas line...it's probably cracked somewhere.  You have to change it every couple years anyway.

how come?

is it due to the sap being down for green wood?

what im cutting is recyled fencing from a ranch its long
dried out

Yeah pretty much.  Wood needs a good 6-9 months to season.

I have burned hundreds of cord worth of green/wet wood. The trick is to stack the wood around your stove so the heat will dry it out. Helps bring up the indoor humidity a bit too.

Of course it is best to let it dry and season, but its not entirely necessary.

Depends on how much room you have too.  I've just had better luck seasoning it.  To each their own :)

Original Message hi i have a homelight 46 cc chainsaw yes its a cheapie
i dont normally mess with these tiny motors but thought i have another go and have ended up frustrated as usual.

my question is about the carbs on these things. it is a carb
problem initially it would not start and run no matter what
without ether own the throat so i disasemble an cleane the carb because there was a very good chance of old fuel and
other contaminants.

now i can get it to run with 3/4 choke but it shuts down
when the choke is removed.

i think i got the jets cleaned but could not work out how to
remove from the carb body is there some rubber gasket pump?
that could be causing this

and is this just a throw away job?
