RooSpike looks like the air injection isn't that great after all..

I dont think i was bragging about the air injection and filter system on the Husqvarna tho it is one of the best.
I dont have this issue with any of my 4 Huskys ( two 346xp , 359 , 372XP ) the only thing i can think of is lack of filter cleaning and replacement and also letting the chain get too dull and in turn it makes saw dust and not wood chips as it should.
I have a Craftsman chainsaw that is over 13 years old and never had a sawdust issue.
I've seen many chainsaws that have had the wooddust in the carb and 9 time out of 10 it has been run with a dull chain and the filter is not cleaned as it should be.
A good habit to get into is to take your bar and chain off when done cutting for the day and clean the whole saw. I use a $1. paint brush i keep in my chainsaw box and keep the whole saw clean , clean out the filter at every tank of gas and i also keep my chains sharp.
I blow the whole chainsaw off with an air compressor when i get back to the shop and blow out the air filter as well.
