MS241C idle hanging up after Reset

[Livtohunt]

Maybe someone can shed some much needed light on what’s causing this saw to have the idle hang up like it is. The saw wouldn’t have more than 10 tanks of fuel through it and it’s been great up until I decided to install a redbeard green weenie oiled filter on it and ever since no matter how many types of reset procedures I’ve tired the idle hangs up. After a rest for the first few blips of the throttle it’ll come back down to idle as it should then after I make a few quick cuts it’ll hang up something fierce. No I haven’t put the OEM air filter back on to see if it cures it. Thought I’d ask here first.

So what tells you this? Just use the OEM air filter and I bet it will not happen. Possible it is not getting enough air through the oiled filter and leans itself out.

Did you squeeze out the excess oil ??

The oil gets pretty sticky and it'll run down into the linkage.

Have you tried cutting wood with it?

There is no reason to use anything other than the factory filter on these saws.
