While cutting today, the saw ran well.
THEN
It started racing out of the cut. I would blurp the throttle a couple of times and the saw would calm down and idle nicely. I thought perhaps it was due to having the cold weather shutter open. So I shut the saw down and closed the shutter. Now it will not stay running. If I'm on the throttle it stays running, but dies as soon as I let it try to idle. Air filter on or off, shutter open or closed, same thing. Same mix that I'm using in all of my saws without issue.
It seems to me that it's going lean, but I'm not sure why it was fine after a blurp or 2. I did check and it's not the trigger not returning completely.
Clog somewhere on the low side on the carb? Air leak? I don't think it's the L screw setting - it ran fine at that setting. I hope the racing engine is relevant information.
So, any ideas what's wrong and where to look?
