288xp fueling

[WoodsliverDan]

I have a anniversary edition 288xp I picked up, runs great, no issues, until it gets low on gas. I say this because when it gets down to less than 1/4 tank, the idle picks up speed, like its leaning out. The fuel filter/weight is free to move around, I've checked. Any ideas? Thanks, Dan

I'd just put a new one in it, as cheap as they are.

Along with the other points already mentioned and for the purpose of elimination, you should vac test through the fuel line to check out the tank vent ...often shows a problem after the saw has run for a while if its blocked . Also, with a open tank cap and the line blocked off a pressure test should show any line leak issues ...I find it a good start before taking things apart.
