Js 2258 dies in the cut

[Terrence Jefferson]

I have a js 2258 with 4 hrs on it and once it gets warm it dies in the cut like it ran out of gas. Then you hear sizzling from the engine like fuel pouring on a hot cylinder. I flashed this saw at work today and I just ran it and it seems to get hot super fast and can only cut 3 cookies out of a 10 inch dead pine log. Any suggestions?

What year? What carb?

It's a 2016 but I can't see the normal El # but I do see the numbers 140086a 552a

I'd check the fuel lines very carefully. I believe 55a is the desirable carb. @Duce knows this series better than I do, even if he won't admit the red ones are better

Does computer show normal air/fuel readings? Vacuum checked case?

I haven't vac or pressure tested it yet. I will plug it back in tomorrow and see what everything reads

Look for error codes also.

We looked today when it was plugged in but there wasn't any but hopefully there will some when I look into it

Well I think I found out the problem. The fuel was half water and I think that was the sizzle I herd. Put fresh fuel in it and it runs well.
