Fired up my new 590 after a mm and limiter removal. After I got it warm and idling nice I made some cuts. Got it four stroking, and very
responsive on the trigger, cleaned up nice in the cut but left it a bit rich to help with the break in. Started cutting up some pine logs bout 15" diameter. Was cutting great then it began to race while at idle. Shut saw off and started to look it over and I had lost the deflector on the muffler. Fearing I had toasted my new saw I pulled muffler. Looks good inside piston and walls clean shiny no scoring. Would losing the deflector cause saw to race at idle? Or should I start looking for possible air leaks? Thank you for any help possible.
