It seems like a whole lot of saw with an 18 inch bar. I wouldn't normally think of that combo myself, say 50 something cc range max with an 18" bar. Different strokes.... I think Carl likes a short bar on his 880.

A winter saw project sounds good. I'm going to keep an eye on the auction here too.

If it's a plastic limiter cap, I snip them off with some wire snips, which cracks the plastic and then they come off easily..

If there is crud in the inlet needle passage, disassembly may not be required. Push down on the metering lever and shoot some carb cleaner in there, then maybe give it a shot of air. That should maybe displace the crud. The fact that the intake fills with gas so quickly seems like a problem...

Right, I was just thinking that Chip may have tweaked it when working on the carb after it stopped running properly, or the spring is out of place if he has done some disassembly. Lots of my own carb complications have been self imposed. :roll:

The inlet needle can lose it's proper seating capacity. That would cause flooding. Metering lever too high too.

I had a very similar problem with a saw recently. It turned out that the gasket under the metering diaphragm had a little hole in it that lined up with a hole in the top edge of the carb, and that acted as a vent for the diaphragm, not the usual where the vent is the hole on top of the carb...
