372xp loss of power

[spudulike]

Thanks Spud. I'm good at cleaning the saw and the air filter gets blown off. I mix my own fuel and confident it's correct.

 

I'll get the guy to check adjustment.

 

Thanks.

 

Good, it should be tached to 12500 -13000 against a max of 13500rpm:thumbup:

Hi Carpenter,

 

I will not be able to check Arb talk as I am doing shows in Scotland.

 

Please call me on 07568 108953 between 8:30 - 5:30 and give me all the details and I will try to help.

 

Kind regards

 

Eddie

A couple of things to try - look unde the carb cover held on with one big screw, there is a gauze strainer under there, about the diameter of a pencil - check it is clear of woodchip.

 

The other thing it may be is a hole/split fuel line, they tend to split where they compress in to the fuel tank!

 

Other than that, the carb may need a strip and clean - try taking the H&L screws out and use one of those red pipes on a can of WD40 and get it down their screws before replacing.

Was my air filter....embarrassingly. I hadn't ever popped it open to blow out innards.

Think I would have made up something more exotic than that, how embarrassing

Hopefully my embarrassment will help others!
