Question
I did not check other kits, although the, seemingly, more knowledgable counter man told me that he could be more certain of rebuild kit if I had numbers from carb-I did not have them available at that time.  That shop is a day-trip for me, so I have not yet had opportunity to return.  Carb does not have fuel return.  You can see from some of the numbers that chainsaw is probably 25 years old-I bought it from Sears outlet store about that long ago.  It has been ignored more than used.

Mod:  358.352060   S/N:  S14038321

Carb numbers:  4/80, WA19A, 5-3431, 34-80 (on butterfly), 27 (intake port)

Sears offers a kit for 2x$$ local shops.  I may reach a point when time and materials = cost of new saw, but I hate to give up and send this to landfill when it is so close to working.

Thanks for timely feedback!

Question -
I have a 12" Sears 2.0 saw that has been neglected for several years.  I have cleaned fuel tank and filter, replaced fuel lines, replaced foam air cleaner, and attempted to clean and rebuild Wablo carburetor, using universal Wablo kit, K10-WAT.  Now, I choke for two pulls, open choke, saw starts and runs for a few seconds, as it runs, fuel begins to overflow from tank filler cap and engines stops.  

I assume that I made some mistake with the carburetor?  The kit had a replacement fuel pump diaphragm, but the did not have a valve diaphragm that matched the old one, so I re-used the old one.  Could that be the problem?  Two parts places told me this is the right kit, why wouldn't it have the correct diaphragm?

Answer -
 Hello Mac:

 Did you look at a D2WA&T Carb Kit? The Model Number of the Saw will Help me. Does this Carb have a Fuel Return? The Diaphram Does need to be Replaced and the Small Needle Under the Diaphram has a Specific Setting Also. You will Need to Locate a Diaphram. Send me the Model of the Saw and I will Look in my Catalog for the Kit or Replacement Diaphram for you. Hope this Helps.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

 John

Answer
 Hello Mac:

 I am showing several Rebuild Kits for this Carb. Take the Carb Numbers and Get a New Kit. Replace the Diaphram and be sure all the Ports and Passages are Blown out with Air. Let me know what happens.  Hope this Helps.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

 John
