Have you checked the gas?
You should check the gas.
@Nixon
Did you set the lever height? Do you have the gasket against the carb body with the diaphragm on top of that? On the metering lever, if the diaphragm end of it is forked, did you make certain that the fork fits in the groove of the 'tit' on the diaphragm center plate? Odd that it holds once and then won't reseal....
Yes, yes I did . Even checked the belts ...
Metering lever is perfect . The gaskets are in the prper order . It has the normal button / lever set up , not the one like on some of the older tillies . Not sure what to do here . . .

Turn the needle 45 degrees and pressure test again?
have used 2 new needles . May try figuring a way to polish and lap the needle seat ,and bore . Sure would be nice to figure this out .
may stretch an old spring just to see what happens . Is the a max pressure for pop off that if you go too far beyond your saw ‘splodes ? .

To me it sounds like the corner of the needle is getting stuck in the crotch of the fork, or hanging up on the edge of the bore. Or something weird. When you install all that shit I assume you give it s little flick of the lever, so it seats. Try lowering the leaver slow to see if it hangs up, you can watch it as you put the air to it?have used 2 new needles . May try figuring a way to polish and lap the needle seat ,and bore .

When you get to the 'its the point' of the deal, rather than just making it go, you get into this territory.
Been there.
Toothpaste and a drill, spin a longer needle in it. If its a long one, may have to do it manually. (T one dated girls equipped like this)
Got to make sure all the passages are clear, air has to move as well. Some times its a check valve shot, and thats a replacement deal, too.
New/different carb failing that.

Haven’t timed it . But once it pops off @ about 20, the drop is relatively fast ,and steady down to about 5 . And , when you raise the pressure back to 20 ,it doesn’t pop off ,it just drops steadily as if the needle hasn’t seated properly .

And it holds under 5 or does it drop at a slower rate?
It’s still dropping at 5-6 . But, it is at a slower rate .

In a drill, Q tip and toothpaste the seat and bore.
Should be popping off before 20lbs......................but also should reseat after popping. Maybe the lever is bent and binding on the pivot pin.
Well, gonna polish the needle seat . Also ordered the HS nozzle .
Dam I hate it when you forget to put one end of the pulse hose on the 036 ,
