Echo Cs-346 help!

[Local # 17 T.T.]

Hey. I went to fire this saw up yesterday and i notice that it would barely
accelerate. After taking off the air cleaner, my work partner said it was saturated with oil. He took off the air cleaner and the saw ran ok. What would cause this? If my gas to oil mix was to rich would that do it? I been mixing it at 50:1. Thanks for your help.......Mike

I dont know if your saw has a felt filter.If yes,try to go get a nylon one and you gonna eliminate this problem.Your adj could be a bit rich too,but dont tighten too much.The felt filter keeps inside a lot more of "fuel comeback" out of the carb,thats why he get soaked much faster.

I tried today to get the filter, but all they had was the felt kind like I already have. Can i buy a nylon filter anywhere?

Try to remove your carb's limiter caps and reset them...

I have never had a problem with my felt filter, 'cept for it getting dirty real fast.

I check in the parts book,and they dont list a nylon one as optional.Too bad.
