The saw is an early 2000s 55. I ran it on Friday with no problems, started fine and ran fine as I bucked up some brush for the chipper. Went back to my project on Saturday and tried to fire it cold, pulled the choke gave it a few yanks and it fired then quit, pushed the choke back in ,still on high idle, pulled and it started idled up then quit. Did it a couple more times then I tried the choke again, I had never had this issue, same as above, started stopped a few times. I put it down thinking maybe it flooded. Tried it again a lil later that day, same thing happened.
Tried it today and same thing.
So I pulled the plug, it was wet, grabbed a new plug and tried again, same outcome. Air filter is new, FYI. Has fuel in it. I'm not sure on the age of the fuel filter and fuel line. I did pull the filter out of the tank and it looks very clean. I didn't pull the fuel line off to inspect it. I didn't see any fuel leaking around the carb either.
Would a split fuel line in the tank cause it to do this?
Any questions, suggestions and input is welcome.
Thanks Woody
