had this pp375 for couple years. ran well after I got it and did the standard "new" saw drill. recently it would start and idle well but would stutter at wot.
replaced seals (shoulda done it earlier), new filter, and re-rebuilt carb. same thing.
decided yesterday I would get to the bottom of this as this is a great saw. decided to replace the fuel line even though it is soft and pliable. after taking the starter cover off I finally noticed the vent line was kinked, wtf? replaced the vent line and the saw started, idles, and revved like it sposed to. gotta get it in some wood for the final test but am somewhat confident.
This just shows to go ya that its usually the simple things. glad I saw the vent cause idda never thought of that. live and learn
