If there is any question about compression you can pull the muffler off, and see how the piston looks. Hope it is not like this one. (not mine)

Hey BK - The thing is that the 180 could smoke it cause my $%^ saw still wont start!! I'll take another look at the impluse line. Otherwise, new carb will be here this week.
The problem is that the cylinder is getting absolutely flooded with fuel even after carb rebuild (new diaphrams) and adjustment. Seems like it has to be a carb problem? I removed and cleaned the metering needle and all of that stuff. Would a bad impulse line mean the saw would NOT be getting fuel?
Through this process, I did find a pretty handy tech guide: http://www.zamacarb.com/pdfs/TechGuide_2007.pdf

Ouch! No I pulled the cylinder off and the piston still looks like new which it pretty much is (just got the 7900 P&C a few months ago).

Last time I had a flooding issue that bad, I took the carb apart and found the metering needle spring was missing.
Resolved!! Received my new carb today from Amicks, slapped it on, and I now have a perfectly running saw again. Not sure specifically what was wrong with the old carb but after changing the diaphrams I suspect metering needle, welsh plug, or something.
As always, thanks for all the replies fellas! Special thanks to BeetleKill for offering up a pity saw
