Jesus just reading the first two pages, it looks like this was going to end in a big cluster-fuck. Im glad Ixion and Frosty got involved.

You don't trust our mechanical abilities?

This is a REAL silly question, and I apologise in advance for asking it, but just to cover it off, none of the pcitures actually showed the needle assembly. The needle is in there , right? (not the float needle, the main jet one)

I second what ixion said--ya know when ya put the diaphram back in and it diddnt look torn and......

Diaphragm carbs are funny funny things, one rule of thumb that I have heard repeated a fair few times is that if you have to take it apart more than twice get a new kit for it. They are beautifulk we carbs when they are working but are very temperamental when they are not!! I have worked on a few Chainsaws in my time and you can try everything to fix them, and 9 times out of 10 it is something to do with the diaphragm. Give me a venturi any day!!!

um er indy--3 ideas.
1-check that you havent twisted the throttle cables around and that ya have free play in your throttle cable.
2)check how far out you have your idle screw set.start with 1.5 turns out from fully screwed in.
3)take the top back off the carby and check that the slide is in round the right way. there are two things sticking into where the slide is -Ones the idle needle the other is the slide guide. If ya have the slide in backwards the slide will rest on the guide not the needle as intended.
Hey dude if its ridable bring it to me in devonport--Im not exactly busy today and I can have a squizzy.

He bought it to me -sounded a tiny bit rough on idle and fast but otherwise pretty good.
Wound the idle down to 1k and fucked with the mixture screw and she sounds sweeeet --Only thing is i really wanna reset the tappets -it was too hot and fuggit I got busy with customers
