Please bear with me as there is some background to this issue.
372XP XT
I used the saw to clear a few trees out of the road one day, went through half a tank of fuel probably. I shut the saw off for a couple hours, fired it up again and idle was high with moderate chain spin. I ran it for about 3 minutes and shut it off. I took everything off and found one of the head bolts had backed out and gas was leaking between the jug and the case. I pulled everything, piston and jug looked fine. Threw new rings in and bolted it back together.
I'm still having the idle problem. Adjusting the idle and L screw in combo to bring the saw to low enough idle yields minimal throttle response and the idle is a mildly erratic.
The problem was instant the last time it fired up. Didn't add fuel or touch anything to cause the issue. Ideas at this point are possibly a carb problem or maybe an air leak at a bearing?? Both ideas don't seem to fit the timing of the issue. I'm at a loss.
