Well used Husky 562Xp

[Boxster51]

I recently picked up a 562Xp that I hoped to clean up and use. It starts up great from cold, idles, revs for about 20 seconds, then starts to load up and won't rev. I removed the air filter to be able to see the choke position and noticed that is actually spitting fuel out of the intake when trying to rev. Any idea what may be causing this? It's a 2012 model.

Needs a carb kit and rebuild

Thanks! I dropped it off at the local dealer today for them to run a diagnostic. This is my first experience with an auto tune saw. I'll soon know what the computer says about it, too.

I would also say a new carb kit. I f you can find out how long it has been sitting without
being run that will help you too. If they sit in a shed for years without being run the
diaphragms will harden up and that will cause you all sorts of headaches..

Thanks again! Based on how wet (oily dirt) the saw was when I picked it up, I'd guess it wasn't sitting for long. The rear handle had been broken and wrapped, but the tank wasn't leaking. My guess is that it had been used pretty heavily by tree guys and was probably dropped at some point. The price was right, $160, and it started up and ran when I went for it, so I figured it was worth the gamble.
