Husqy 372 cutting out when climbing??

[HRG Tree Services]

Hi Guys my 372 works fine on the ground but as soon as I'm doing a take down and dangle the 372 off my harness it cuts out! I've tried adjusting the tick over but it's made no difference! Anyone else experienced this? Or have any ideas on fixing it??

Possible air leak in fuel line that only opens up when saw is dangled slightly stretching fuel line and opening small split that stays shut when saw is in normal attitude ...... possibly

If it is an Xtorq, check the fuel line or replace it now, I had two in recently that have had this issue - both seized:thumbdown:

 

Other than that - it is possible the fuel filter is getting stuck to the back of the tank, especially if the fuel line is short.

 

It is possible that the L screw is a bit rich and the fuel puddles in the bottom of the crankcase and stalls the engine.

 

Check the blue kill wire running from the coil to the kill switch - it may be shorting.

 

Check the fuel tank breather is OK and if all else fails, get the carb cleaned - it is probably fuel related and it won't hurt.

or possibly the other way round, fuel line pinching wen hanging off rope ?

av rubbers/springs weak ?

Yep you were right the fuel line to the carb had been rubbing on the other pipe and made a little hole! All the fuel lines changed today and it's running like a dream! Cheers guys for your help

Always a pleasure to know our ramblings helped a fellow Arbtalker. Glad you caught it in time as the hole often gets big enough to let in air which leans the mix and pop, one seized engine.

 

Thanks for letting us know.
