Troll, et al. (and HarleyT) might like this discovery that I just made. My Husky 353 was rather suddenly having trouble with starting and bogging down in the cut. I decided it must have been a clogged fuel filter, so I changed it. That solved the problem. Engine ran fine again with the new fuel filter.
After the used "clogged" filter dried out I checked it with compressed air. It seemed OK, both easy air flow in and easy out, as if nothing was clogged. The air flow through it was the same as other brand new, unused filters. So, my question is, can any fuel filter be checked in advance by using air flow? Seems like that failed in this case.
One reaches the title of a Chainsaw god, when a thread is started about him/her/they......
I always look at his avatar and think that is him, a teacher lol and that book is the chainsaw curriculum for us users haha
Who's avatar do you think more closely resembles them, SawTroll or HarleyT?
Big thanks to all you gurus.
I’ve met Harley T in 2002 or so and he’s definitely not as handsome as the guy in his avatar, but looks at least as intelligent.Who's avatar do you think more closely resembles them, SawTroll or HarleyT?
Big thanks to all you gurus.
Is saw troll still on here or what happened...?
This guy lives up north, means he's a viking - not a god
Doesn't mean we are gods down south, just not vikings

I would guess that it was something other than a clogged filter, my guess is that it was hanging out at the top of the tank.
I have never checked an already changed out fuel filter for flow of any sort (that I can remember), so I can't comment much on this.
However, I would think that a fuel line that is restricting the movement of the filter would be discovered during the filter swap?
