Hey Good Morning
So I lent my 24 year old 009L to my son in law to clean up some trees in his yard. It was running just fine before of course...
Saw starts fine, idles fine, and revs up fine, but once under load, (soon as it starts to cut), it loses power and will almost stop cutting. Pull it up out of the kerf and it revs back up again....try to cut and it bogs...
So, chain was real dull, sharpened that up. Saw looked pretty dirty so I tore it down and gave it a real good cleaning, it was filthy...cleaned out air filter, looks ok, no tears...reassembled saw....tried cutting again, same thing.
I did not clean muffler/spark arrestor so going to try that this morning, as it felt as if the saw was getting a little hot.
I can't see how my carb may need adjusting as it was fine before....but maybe I should try adjusting the high idle speed? Low idle is fine, and it revs fine when not under a load.
Only other thing I can think of is fuel filter....not sure how to check this, I guess just pull it out of the tank, but how do I know if it is clogged?
Any other suggestions or things to try? It has always ran real well...this is something new.
I guess I can always take it to my dealer, but would prefer to exhaust all possible solutions myself first....
Thanks
Mike
