new to me recently, right off the self the saw would pop with fuel sprayed in the carb but not run on it's own. so i drained the several years(?) old gas and cleaned and freshened the carb. at a glance the intake and impulse look good, the fuel line o.k. (but i want to replace it anyway).
now it starts up right, idles o.k. revs up just fine.... for a short while.
after a minute or so the saw will not rev up. it acts like it hits a timing advance wall at maybe 2-3 times idle speed.
the h-screw has no effect while this is happening.
while fiddling with the saw i turned it clutchside up while holding the trigger wide open. after a second or two the saw revved up like nobody's business!!! this is a snappy little beast! return to upright and moments later it won't rev up. recoil side up did not have the same effect. through all this it still idles o.k.
it doesn't seem like it is leaning out. it is still smoking a little blue and doesn't have that hollow hesitation like when your lowside is slightly lean.
any ideas?
