Nice runner, replaced the fuel line and carb kit. Got it tuned, and started to trim trees. Lots of snort when using it in a "normal" position, but the moment that I lift it to cut a high branch, it won't accelerate. Level; no problems.
I'll ultrasonic the carb again (dirt in a passageway?) and try again tomorrow.
Edit: after a good carb clean and 2 new diaphrams, it's running again like new.
NEW PROBLEM; it's putting out TOO MUCH chain oil. I know, I know, there's no such thing as TOO much oil. But this saw is throwing it like a rabid dog. Tuning it left quite a mess on my shop floor. Hmmmmm.
