560 won't idle

[Marsh Monkey]

ok so i was a fool i threw my saw in the shed at the end of the last cutting season with some fuel in the tank, i've now emptied that fuel out and been working but the saw won't idle, could i have gummed up my carb with manky nasty fuel or will it dissolve all the crap out with a few tank thru it, when it's started it fine as long as i have the throttle wide open but as soon as i leave it to spin down and try to get going again it'll bog out......i'm rambling

You may need to reset the auto tune ( as per book ) with the fresh fuel ......

i'll give that a go did wonder about that but sadly no decent sized lumps of wood on this job....pesky little sallows...

Most likely have gummed up the carb imo. I would get it cleaned out pronto, it is unlikely to clear on its own.
