026 bogging down

[Mull]

026 getting bogged down mid cut, 13" bar sharp chain, clean air filter, also after ticking over it almost dies on first rev then fine.

Time to rebuild the carb?

Mmm. That sounds more serious than I was hoping for! Cheers.

Probably fuel related but it may just be wear on the piston and needs a new one. These saws usually make 170 psi easily but 150+ should be ok.

Box it up and send it back and I will send you a 346😀 it did have about 170psi if I can remember, is the tank vent stihl on it? When you slide the cover up where the air filter lives?

Has stopped a couple of times in cut, like it's running out of fuel.

Ahh, now you say that, it had fallen off before, I'll have a look. Feels like fuel starvation.

Keep your 346! I'm very happy with 026😀 great wee saw.

Worth a try 👍

Tank vent is fine, had a strimmer that had similar symptoms, turned out to be filter in tank. Does this happen often with saws?
