The best way to tell if it is flooding is to pull the plug and see if it is wet.   If it looks damp but not wet it is not flooding. 

I think the carb was rebuilt, he says it was kitted. Is the idle screw set to where it will idle? I had one that I couldn't get the H or L screws to set after rebuilding the carb until I realized that I never set the idle screw back. Few turns in of the idle and then was able to set the H and L without issue. I'm not so sure that's your issue but might be worth a try. I seem to recall low compression being a cause of fuel coming back out the carb also.

I meant to post that as well. 66?

Sorry friends, it is a 66, i have tryed everything you guys suggested more than once...uggg...i even took the carb off my 266xp, its freshly kitted and tuned and same thing. pull the plug, wet as hell. tryed a brand new plug, same thing ,wet as hell.so any way, i started looking at it and i noticed gas comin out of the cap,pretty new cap, so i tighten it. Then i thought i would check the fuel line fur cracks or anything like that you know, i pulled it off and it had pressure. check the spark plug, wet put line back on and shook  the saw a bit .Unhooked the line, pressure, check the spark plug,wet. so i did one more thing. i let it sit in the sun fur about 20 min.,same thing, pull the line and there would be pressure ,check the spark plug,wet as hell. So would this be the tank vent prblem, if so, how do i change it. If its a cap problem, what other husky caps fit the 66 or can i just use the oring from other Husky Caps. And if its not this....suggestion?




                                                                                             

Check the metering lever in the carb. Should be right about flush with carb body.  Had a saw qcting exactly how you stated doing that to the other mechanic today. I checked that lever and good as new
