Having a few minor problems with a Husqvarna 141 I just aquired. This is my first chainsaw (used plenty, just have never owned one) so I don't quite know how to tackle these two problems. When cold it runs like a ***** ape, I absolutely love the thing. Have a 16" bar and it was cutting fine through 15" maple like it was butter. When it gets warm two problems happen.
1. the chain brake stops working once the saw warms up (chain keeps spinning when at idle).
2. it will bog down as soon as you give it full throttle, at load or not at load. As it gets progressivly warmer it bogs easier and easier. I can fether it up to 3/4 throttle and it will still cut fine, but stab the throttle it will bog and go past 3/4 and it will bog. I am guessing that it is running rich?
