This has been my tried and true saw. Been running it every day this past month for a couple hours each day blocking firewood. The only change I made recently was to pick up a bottle of Echo brand fuel mix. I still keep the ratio 40:1 as I've always used. Today it was running off and on for a couple hours and I set it down to idle for aboiut 2 mins while I was moving blocks of wood. It just stopped, figuring it was out of fuel I took a look and it was quite low so I filled it up. I could not get it to start again. Normal it runs after 2-3rd pull. Air filter was changed last week. Looked ok. So I checked the plug boot, seemed to a little loose so I buttoned it down and tried again. Tried with choke but after 6-7 pull there was so sign of life. Closed the choke and pull the cord about 10 times. Nothing. I took off the spark plug and it looks like this. Note a great pic but you get the idea.
Only other thing its also been doing lately is running high idle after letting go of the throttle. I did a tweak of the low idle screw a few days back as suggested by @chipper1 . Did seem to help for about a day but its back to doing it again. I am wondering if its the new oil mix that's the issue or something else. Thoughts anyone?
