Hey guys...i picked up a saw, Stihl 029, a couple weeks ago from a member here. I'm just finally getting to put it to some real use and find that once it warms up it wont idle. When i first started using it it was fine and would idle, but as i put it to more use on about my 3rd tree it would die as soon as i let off the throttle. What could be causing this? i called my stihl dealer and they say it needs a carb rebuild, and i'm thinking its something with the carb. It still has great power and runs awsome when i stay on the throttle...any help would be great.
