Husky 268XP dies(seeking the experts)

ISSUE RESOLVED! A couple of you guys mentioned impulse tube which i never really focused on before. Took the carb off and sure enough right where the carb spacer mates with the engine was a big chunk of carbon. Picked it out with piece of wire and a shop vac and then cleaned the hole with a little carb cleaner and a que tip. Put everything back together thing runs like a scalded dog. My co-workers was over joyed when i called him and told him. Im actually very jealous this saw is an animal. Thanks to all the advice given by everyone! This forum is amazing!

Thanks for posting the fix you found.
Many guys come with a problem and then never post what they find out.
Those are great saws, light for the power!

I've seen things idle fine but not want to rev up due to a worn pump diaphragm but it's usually when the diaphragm is obviously old and potato-chippey.

Best thread comment, potato-chippey diaphragm .
