My son was given a Homelite UT10519 chainsaw (46cc, 18"). Ran well last season. This season I can get it to run only briefly.
At one point I could get it to run each time I primed it (about 5 pumps), but at that point I actually had the fuel lines re-connected backwards at the primer bulb. Like it would run until it used up the primer charge.
Now (after disassembling the carb and spraying carb cleaner through each passage-way, reconnecting primer bulb the right way), it starts up, but only for a few moments. Then acts flooded. I removed plug and it was wet.
So I'm at the point to order a carb re-build kit, and... stone wall.
I called one online retailer and eventually was told that the correct kit is RB-159. But when I call Homelite, they said there is no rebuild kit. They said just buy a new carb.
The carb (309364001) is about $60 plus shipping. That won't happen (especially knowing I can buy a new carb for my Poulan for $15.00!)
The carb doesn't have markings on it that relate to what I've read it should have. One side has "110" cast into the body. The other side has an ink stamp, and all that is readable appears to be "46M".
Can anyone confirm if the RB-159 kit is correct?
Thanks!
