Husky 181 carb area filling with chips/dust.

Does anyone know if this is normal? I am getting a ton of sawdust in the filter area, packing in there and it starts to smoke after I set it down . NOT GOOD. Any suggestions?

Check the boot around the throttle lever. It's probably missing. PN 501-5510-01. The IPL doesn't give a clear pic of where it goes. It goes over the throttle lever (plastic) and into the case in the big hole close to the ign switch (starter side). Hope this helps.

I'll check it. Thanks.
