Do you think this is just a QC/assembly  problem or a poor design ?

ok so an update called round my dealer today to see what the latest news was on my saw as i never heard anything for few days and he put the new carb on the saw did all the calibrating and whatever u do when u fit new carb on bla bla bla and the problem had not been cured it was still holding high rpm and bogging so a new coil is now on order to see if its that is there no way when u plug in the saw to the programme that the dealers have that it will tell u what the issue is on the diagnostics machine or is my dealer just not clued on ???? i thought the hole advantage of having the port to plug your saw in was to tell u hours used firmware updated any issues and so on ????

Auto tune can only give possible things that could be wrong assuming fault codes come up, it does not take away the need for experienced service people, auto tune logs high and low fuel settings, if read correctly these themselves can give a good idea of what may be happening ( too rich, too lean ) if auto tune has richened the mixture then the saw is running lean for a reason, air leaks, fuel starvation etc, if it has leaned the mixture then we know it is running rich, blocked air filter, blocked muffler spark arrestor etc, it would be very unusual for the ignition to give the symptons you are describing.
