Won this saw less than two years ago in one of BTS's comps at Capel Manor show. Doesn't get used much as I stick with my MS200T's - it's only on it's second chain. Having problems now with in reving up. you have to squeeze the trigger as hard as you can to get it to near full rev's and then when you show it any kind of wood it will really struggle. I've noticed that there is a lot of play in the throttle, the trigger will travel over half way before it lifts of idel. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Carb might need retuning or adjusting...

 

Check the impulse hose for blockages or wear too and the filters in the carb...

 

Fuel line could do with a look too and the air breather on the tank...
