Well, I have a Husqvarna Rancher 55 that has ran flawlessly for many years now (bought it new). The last time I used it was December 2012. I didn't drain the gas or anything special. Just put it on the shelf. I do use the blue marine formula Stabil in all my gas so this was a mixture of that.
Now to get to the problem. I pulled it out to use it the other day and it started right up. BUT, it wouldn't run right . I would give it full throttle and it would stall out. If I kept pumping the trigger it would stay running. It wouldn't idle right, the idle was to fast and the chain kept turning. I used it for the quick job I needed it for and put it back on the shelf. Well now I need it for some major cutting and it wont even start.
So, where do I start? Is a carb rebuild in order or what?
