My 268XP has been giving me fits lately. It started out just stalling on occassion, then progressed to stalling almost every single time I come out of a cut and let it idle.
It goes lean for a few seconds, then acts rich, then stalls out. I can set the L screw anyplace from rich to lean and it still does the same thing.
In the past few months, I've replaced the fuel line, rebuilt the carburetor, replaced the gaskets on both sides of the intake, removed the tank, replaced all 6 AV mounts, cleaned it out, checked the vent, and cleaned the fuel filter.
The other problem it has is WAY too hard to pull, it really needs a compression release.
Anyhow, I'm suspecting at this point that it needs cranks seals. Our local Husqvarna dealer is Amish, and he's hardly ever at his shop, and months behind with his workload.
I've never put seals in this model, it is something pretty easy to do or should I send it out?
I'm actually just about ready to sell the saw, and get a newer 372XP with a compression release! Anyone interested in a really nice 268XP needed some TLC?......Cliff
