Have a Stilh concrete saw that would start ONCE and run, but shut it off and it will FLOOD and not restart.. Got to pull the spark plug, drain cylinder, heat up the plug and reinstall.. Sure seems like needle gas valve is leaking thru or bad gasket. Took carb apart TWICE and check and could not determina a problme...... Ended up buying an aftermarket CARB on Amazon for $35. and install ........... problem SOLVED.

Counting two chain saws, this is the 3rd small gas engine that has been "FIXED" by buying an aftermarket carb for $20- 35. and installing !!!

Can buy the carb repair kit also , and it seems they fit many different carbs . Priced one for my Johnsered 601 and found lit fits 2 other saws I have . Price on e-bay was around $4 per kit , local saw repair shop wanted $20 for kit for 1 saw

i was considering a gaskety kit... but i thought the gas inlet needle valve might be the problem ( no guarantee).. and i had GREAT results with two other CARBS that i bought... almost a Guarantee fix..

I did the gasket kit on my 40 year old poulan still had problems. Couldnt get an ecavt carb so i got one gor a post hole dogger. It was on number off changed the throttle arm from my old carb started right up. Put an amazon carb on my husquvarna started 2nd pull a little teeeking and it runs perfect. Been 4 years since i replaced the carb rides in the back of my yruck st the farm always starts and runs great.
