Ok guys, I've seen multiple posts about the ms170 having the same bogging issue that mine has but I never see a fix. Starts fine, idles fine, but as soon as you hit the throttle it bogs.
I've tried so far
1. Carb rebuild
2. New carb
3. Fuel line/filter
4. Clean tank vent
last night I thought I figured out that the bar sprocket was sticking b/c when I ran the saw without the bar and chain there was no bog. Tonight I tried again and the bog is back. I know these are inexpensive saws but at this point I'd like to get some closure with this pos. Any help would be appreciated.
