k760 runs great but strange problem
« on: May 04, 2020, 12:54:44 pm »
my k760 saw runs very well but when it's not in use it leaks fuel, from directly underneath the throttle trigger a constant slow leak of fuel and it doesn't stop until tank is empty. I've had the carb out a few times now fitted new fuel pipes new fuel pressure bubble cleaned everything but still the problem exists. Anyone have any ideas?

Leaking past the tank vent #7.  I dont know the saw so just using IPL pic for area.   @3000 FPS is this one the saws you been in?

I worked on some the K760 saws when I working part time before retiring.     I agree with cut4fun that it could be the tank vent.   
I have a K960 here at home that I got free and completely rebuilt it.
