I recently acquired a Homelite Super 2, and it won't stay running longer than a minute or so, plus needing a shot of carb spray to get it running in the first place. First thing I did was go through it, cleaned the points, coil, flywheel magnets, plug, tank and fuel line, since it had been left with fuel in it. There is a hole in the fuel tank on the top corner near the cap. Looks like it's missing a part. What is supposed to go there? If this is an obvious 'duh' I'm sorry. It's only my second saw ever, and my first (Homelite XL2) runs with nothing more than a points cleaning every so often.

Thanks. Got a part number or the phone number of a good butcher? Kidding, of course, I know what a duckbill valve is! Just need a part number so I get the right size!
