435 having problems

[minuteman tree]

I have a husky 435 that I use for limbing and smaller stuff. My former groundie used it. It starts, but when I squeeze the throttle it bogs down and dies. I'm thinking it may be the carb. Any other ideas you all might have? Kinda off topic, but my groundie was my brother in law. I fired him cuz he got caught trying to steal my climbing gear.

Pull the muffler and check the piston/cylinder for scoring. If all is well in the cylinder tighten down the carb and see if that helps. If that doesn't fix the issue, clean up the carb in a soak of carb cleaner overnight. Don't soak any plastic parts if there are any on the carb. Replace the spark plug at your discretion. your brother in law when you get a chance.
