Hi, all! I have a Husqvarna e-series 450 chainsaw, and although it cranks and idles fine, it goes dead when I give it throttle. I removed the housing and air filter to see if I could get a better sense of what was happening, and it happens (bogs down and goes dead) as soon as I give it enough throttle to begin opening the butterfly (flap). As soon as it begins to move the engine bogs down, and if I hold it there it goes dead. The chainsaw is relatively new as far as hours go (I bought it 10 years ago or so, and have only used it 10 or so times for maybe a total of 5 hours). Could this be something that is a simple fix, or should I take it to a small engine mechanic? Thanks in advance for any help!
BTW--removed old gas and put in new gas... just to rule that out (not saying the carb isn't gummed up)
