My favourite saw, first out the shed.

[TheHungrySquirrel]

Mines getting a little boggy now even after a retune and service.

 

Definitely my favourite saw and always first off the truck, run a 13 & 15 on it no problems.

You removed the spark arrestor ?

Favourite saw, sometimes dies as you initially pull on the gas, takes a few pulls to start up once that's happened, you have to be super gentle when taking the throttle up, would like to try and richen it up a bit but, Dealer said there is a screw but I can't see it, anyone aware of any adjustments, without the laptop !

He's probably referring to the L bleed adjustment, arrowed in the attached parts diagram. Sometimes these are under a brass cap (like a cylinder block core plug) regular slotted head beneath, o-ring sealed, tapered machine screw.

Probably worth a carb clean etc before making adjustments as the cause of the low idle bog hasn't been identified, but it's got autotune so who knows?! HTH

Try asking your dealer for the latest carb upgrade. Husqvarna made changes to the pumping diaphragm to get over this bogging in the mid range.

 

The software has no adjustments that will sort this issue but may throw up a fault code or two.
