Stihl MS211 - Keeps flooding

[newbie01]

Hi, I'm trying to repair my MS211 saw, It was running fine until last year it would start tried to rev and it would just die. I thought it was the diaphragm so brought a repair kit this year and fitted it. Now I can barely get the saw to start now and it just floods i.e  the exhaust is full of petrol, I've had the carb apart cleaned it checked no debris in the inlet valve. I'm at a bit of a loss what to do now. I did get it started it ran really rough and just died when throttled off......it seems it is just massively over fueling. 

 

Any ideas..... ?

Did you fit the diaphragm round the correct way . I could be wrong but I think there is a right and wrong way .................

Yes I did, I've done quite a few of these before,  100% assembled in the correct orientation. Just cant understand why its flooding so bad.

 

I was also thinking this may be a coil issue as you really have to pull to get a spark, so not sure if I have an intermittent issue there, new plug also....

Only part I couldnt really access was the adjustment screws on the carb for H and L as the plastic lugs......But as these haven't moved cant really see the need to adjust.

Maybe the metering arm is set a bit high ?

Was straight out of the packet I will compare it to the other old one......see if I can see a difference.

[newbie01]

No its identical.......

At a bit of a loss here as carb is spotless with new all serviceable parts.........I will check the clearance later for the coil gap...it seemed as though excessive force was required to generate a spark.

Have you pressure checked the carb? Is the saw flooding due to it being pulled over on choke too many times or is it down to the carb not functioning correctly - get your diagnostic hat on!!

How old is the saw ? Running it on mineral/cheap 2/ oil ? K
