Ran like a top today. So I’m guessing there must have been just enough little gunk in the carb screen to bog it down at wot. Wrecked out this split Poplar with it. Glad it didn’t leave me hanging 😊 And XS 7900 for the win on the stump

Thanks for all the replies. I pulled the carb apart (it certainly is one of the more PITA carbs to remove that I've encountered) and cleaned the screen, although it didn't seem particularly dirty. Anyway, got it all back together and initial results are that everything is working great. I do...

As title states, my 550xp mk2 (stock) just started cutting out at full throttle under load. First noticed it with the saw on its side in a face cut; thought it was out of fuel, but wasn't. Checked the air filter, fuel filter, both clean. Noodled a log to do the autotune reset. Seemed to run fine...

Thanks for the input! I'll give it a try.

I'm trying to replace the crankcase gasket on a DEK Brush Master chipper/shredder. It's got a Honda 270cc engine on it. Unfortunately, I don't think I have the right tool to remove the clutch. I'm guessing it comes off with a pulley/gear puller, but I really don't know and would like some input...
