brothergrim 1 Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Sounds like the carbs knackered to me, ive had it happen too me a few times with my saws (stihl & husqvarna) the mix has probably been at bit lean, Ive a husqvarna 357 I may be selling, if it's any good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOPPER 1,809 Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 have you left the saw with petrol in it ? unleaded petrol rots the diaphram in the carb and will cause the problems your having , the best saws are stilh and huskys there the only ones worth buying Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fozzy41 9 Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Had the carb been stripped before you did at anytime,? The reason i ask is that i had a minimoto that was doing the same thing until i found out that the fork on top of the float had been put in the wrong way round so was stopping petrol coming down from the needle valve so there wasn`t enough petrol to fill the carb. I turned the fork over which allowed more petrol to come down and it ran fine. Just an idea. fozzy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
