You wont really be able to tell what its up by looking at it ( thinknits under carb somewhere, potentially under a plastic plate that fuel line go through, though this may be only on other husqvarnas)
You can check if it's working, by running the saw until it cuts out as you described. Then opening the fuel cap. Is there a suction noise? Does the saw start again and run ok for a few minutes? If yes, then replace the tank vent

Hi all,

 

I’m at a loss There is also smoke coming out near the muffler area so something is not happy. 

 

Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

 

 Thanks. 

Danny.

I found the breather valve and flushed it with brake cleaner , it looked pretty clean it functioned okay when I sucked it. 

 

So on checking the exhaust gasket I looked into the piston area and saw it looked a bit scratched (see photo), is this indication of the problem or general wear and tear? It’s a 2002 saw. 

 

Do do I need to replace the piston?

that's been badly seized, as the ring is not in shot I expect that is smeared with aluminium and solid in the groove
