I was ripping with my Stihl 076 AV when about 20 seconds into the cut the saw made some pops and then stopped on its own. The sawdust was really fine like from a power tool not the big chips from a chainsaw. The bar oil and mixed fuel was freshly filled. The chain was recently sharpened. I put in a new spark plug. The old one was all brown (is that bad). I started it just fine and let it idle for a bit. Then when I started cutting the same thing happened. I need help. I am not a great mechanic and need the saw for a downed maple tree that I’m getting payed to buck up.
