Husky 365 Bogging Down

[Luckyeleven]

Recently my husky 365 has been unusable due to lack of power,

I first thought it was a dull chain, sharpened it and it starts the cut like a cat out of hell, but quickly loses power.
similarly when I started a bore-cut recently it cut fine whilst only using the tip of the bar, but as soon as it had to cut along the bar length it lost all power.

I'm of the opinion its a carb issue...which screws should i fiddle with in order to remedy the problem?

if its been running fine and now is not working as it should, it wont be just a carb fiddle that puts it right.

Any thoughts on the issue in that case?

chain rakers need attention or have they been filed away already?

i had same problem with a 346 and it was the carb manifold.

Ive tried other chains, did think it might be that.

At the risk of getting shot down in flames by making suggestions, I'll share a few ideas. If the saw is idling, then fuel is reaching the carb, however it might not be getting enough.Take the top cover off and look at the intake area when in the cut, anything out of place? Hoses all intact? You can do quick checks by taking the exhaust off and having a peep at the piston. All quick little visual tests that can save a lot of guess work.

No shooting down on my part, grateful for all the suggestions.

Thinking of not enough fuel, have you tried running it with the filter off in case that's blocked? Only mention it because I had that with a strimmer recently.
