Hello all.
Was running my old (1997) Husqvarna 257 and it was bogging down a bit. So ran it WOT not in the wood and messed with the H carb adjustment. I let it get pretty lean and it was screaming for maybe five seconds and then backed it down. It smoked a tiny bit. I shouldn't have let it go that long but the screwdriver came out for a second. Got it back to a good running spot and shut it down for a rest. Now the darn thing won't start at all after many attempts.
- Compression is good at 155.
- I made sure it's not flooded by pulling the plug and dumping it out (and it was in fact wet inside since I tried a long time to get it started and probably flooded it).
- I looked at the ring and piston through the muffler port to make sure I didn't burn up anything and it's shiny and not scored at all.
I cant figure it out. Should I just give it a day to settle down? This one has the decompression valve, which I have tried on and off to get it started. Nothing works.
Thanks in advance
