Well I went to get my 2014 Husqvarna 550xp out yesterday and I couldn't get it to start.. It has good compression and sputters a little bit like it wants to start. Then the more I pull, the less response I got. This saw a been very reliable until now. I am thinking it has be a carb/ fuel issue. Does anyone have a good resource(Video or Previous thread) that can help guide me with the carb cleaning?
I've already go it off the saw, but its hard me to tell what areas like which jet ports or areas need to be cleaned in particular. I can clean a carb on a lawn mower, but with all the eletronics, I don't want to screw something up. I cleaned this saw there a couple weeks ago and I wonder if some particles got into the air intake.

Thanks in advance
