Got a 242xp on the bench. Tank Breather leaking badly. Fitted new oem one. Same! What is it with these? Supposed to use some sealant?

What am i missing? Its pushed home hard as i can

Have you got the little white puck plug to put back over the installed vent stem Bill ?

Most of this sort on the 200 group saws weep a bit i find , often when the tank is brimmed off at fulling then the cap screwed on...I don't think they are 1 way(or at least they don't seem to be) .... Same as a lot of vents at that time.

Yes mate thanks, have fitted the little white pill to it. Seems slightly better just not totally leak proof.

This saw seems to be only firing for a second then cutting out. Had it working fine recently then its gone back to doing this. Had a recent carb kit. Could something be stucking in carb? Some other issue? Any clues anyone?

As long as there is no issues with the carb , still worth a look see....But....If its a "instant "cut out i would be drawn to electrics...eliminate the kill switch , check spark plug, plug boot and cable, have you a short somewhere.  A few to be going on with.

They look to be from the tank valve and tether that should be part of the tank fuel cap.

I believe they may be the Holy Grail!
