My saw was running fine until it wasn't. Took it apart and the fuel line was cracked and had leaked everywhere. I got a new fuel line and put it in, also cleaned up the filter and sprayed the carb out with cleaner while I had it off, and blew some air through the fuel hole on the carb in case there was some fuel line chunks in there.
Saw starts and idles fine now, and it'll cut normally for 2-3 seconds and then it'll bog down and die unless you take the load off immediately. Seems like it's starving for fuel, so I took off the fuel filter and it runs fine again at high speed, although idled a little high, so I put in a new fuel filter and it's bogging down again. Took it all apart again to make sure I didn't kink the fuel line or something, all looks good, gave the carb another quick clean but no luck. Still bogs down after a few seconds unless I take off the bran new fuel filter. Can anybody point me in the right direction on this? Not sure what to do next. Fuel diaphragm maybe? Was running fine before the line cracked.
