Burnt a tank of gas this afternoon and after refilling the tank the saw started to choke and would not take the gas to get full power. Cleaned the air filter. Popped off the gas filter just incase it was bad gas in the can. Emptied the tank and put in some other gas. It ran a bit better for a few seconds but still would stall if I ran it a full power. All the while it would idle fine. Any suggestions for trouble shooting? Thanks!
 
Too little I have a feeling your motor is toast, open your muffler up and post a pic of the inside
I pulled the gas filter. Flushed it with brake cleaner then rinsed with fresh gas. Put fresh gas in the tank. It started with a little hicup at high speed but burned a tank of gas with no problems. Will replace the filter anyway. Will call my local dealer for availability. Thank you all!
