Hi All -- Glad to be part of the group. My 10 yr old son has a question. Thanks a million in advance for your help. He has a Husqvarna chain saw (a 55) that he changed the cylinder and piston on, and he just put in a new carb. Before he changed the carb, the chain saw would start up, run good for 2 seconds, and then would not rev up at all. So he replaced the carb, and now it runs good for about 2 and a half minutes, and then it won't rev up and it is dying on him again. He thinks maybe the new carb has to be adjusted or maybe the fuel line is sucking air, and then he's wondering if he did something wrong when he changed the cylinder and piston, causing it to lose compression? He's tried adjusting the carb and he thinks that it's making a small difference. He's also wondering if a sparkplug issue might cause this. It's a 1999. Does anyone have any advice for him? Thank you again.
