 I was always a bit sceptical about a 4 stroke super saw .

Its a 2 stroke though ...

Oops my bad, still looks a bit dodgy tho !

Blocked air filter on an autotune........ the blocked air filter restricts the air and acts like the choke is partially on so the AT unit weakens the mixture down to cope. Because you are getting less air and then less fuel, the saw WILL lose performance and it isn't great for all those poor bearings and friction surfaces!!! It will also become a sod to start as you have much less fuel/air to get it going!

AT is clever but a bit of basic maintenance is still called for!!! Seen it all before!

But what about the compensator carb?

It helps but is not a panacea, Clean air filter and fuel filter max power.
