My father inherited a barely used Husqvarna 455 from my uncle who passed away a few years back. Dad said it wouldn’t run right.
The tank was empty when I got it. I filled it with fresh fuel (50:1 non-ethanol mix with full synthetic 2 cycle oil), filled it with bar oil, ran the plug over my wire wheel, checked the gap, checked the air filter (looked brand new) and fired it up.
It runs great until you put a load on it (put it into some wood), and it bogs right down.
I pulled the carburetor out and sprayed it down with carb cleaner. Fired it up and it ran great for one tank of fuel. Refilled it with fuel and it started bogging again.
Do I pull the carb and spray it down again? I’m guessing my uncle had run ethanol fuel in it and let it sit. Any other suggestions? Thank you in advance.
