No doubt. Nothing wrong with that, education is always good. Though sometimes frustratingYeah…buyer beware for sure!! But hey, I learned a lot more about small carbs today for sure!!

Can't see your video but go the other way with the screw, out further is just more fuel.
Is it smoking an excessive amount?It doesn’t matter if it’s at 1/2 turn or 3 full turns…something else seems to be amiss
Not really….I’m going to pull the cylinder tomorrow to see if it blew out part of the base gasket, and check the intake boot for cracks/rips…I have another one on the way already as I plan on replacing most of the parts on the saw due to it’s age.

Have you done a vacuum test? Often when a saw won’t tune it’s an air leak in my experience.
Even though there’s lots of fuel going into the carb, it still feels/seems like it’s running lean, so I’m wondering if it’s pulling air in from somewhere…since it won’t idle, it’s hard to use WD-40 or brake cleaner to check around the base gasket & intake, so I’ll just pull ‘em…need to pull them anyway
A preasure and vacuum tester saves a lot of Time and money.Not yet, no vacuum tester yet…seems saws need tools I don’t seem to have
Real tygon is decent line, echo fuel and impulse line is the best IMO. 3x5 and 3x6 work for most things
Though I may end up going the NWP route if I can’t source a good used oem crank…
Looks like I’ll be going the NWP route…now I just need to figure out the bearings, seals, o-rings, gaskets, etc.!!not oem But a good crankshaft
