I believe this saw is a 2008. It was my primary 20" saw till 2 years ago when I bought a 2260. Since then, it is a back up saw, which I basically run just enough to cycle the gas through. I went to run it last week and all of a sudden it didn't want to run right. Right now, it will start under choke, but when you take the choke off, it stalls out. When it is running, it doesn't sound like it used to when it ran correctly. It doesn't run long enough to try to adjust carb settings while it is running.
Does this sound more like a fuel issue or an air issue. On another saw I had, I had to replace intake boot due to an air leak, but I don't recall it acting this way. I had another 357xp which had that common carb problem, I sent the carb to treemonkey and he fixed it. Was there a specific way to determine if this is that common carb problem? Or does this sound more like just the carb needs to be cleaned?
As I mentioned before, the saw ran fine last time, put it on the shelf; took it back off the shelf and now it doesn't. Thanks for the help guys.
