Hi No I haven't watched the video, but I'll take a look at it, the saw is fairly new, and I've taken it apart and cleaned the carb. Any advice on how to properly check the fuel lines and filters? I forgot to mention that the when I first pull the trigger from idle it bogs down a bit, but then picks up and works fine. It's after it's gone back down fully to its idle it does this. I know I shouldn't be going off tach readings but the idle speed is around 3200-3220. I've got a new spark plug for it, would it be worth replacing it? Or could it be an issue with the clutch and chain as it seems it's sticking a bit until it revs up...

I've adjusted the saw so it idles nicely, and revs up and also comes down nicely as well. The only issue now is that the saw bogs down when I pull the trigger. This only seems to be when the saw has come fully down to idle speed, about 20-40 seconds or so after cutting. Spent a long time fiddling with the adjustment and couldn't seem to solve this without having a very high idle. Thanks

Firstly thank you for all the help, I've cleaned out the carb, and put the saw back together, and worked on fine tuning using your instructions. I think I've got the saw running nice, but will only know for sure after a good days use. The piston rings and position it's self seem good, no scoring etc. Thanks for the help guys 👍

Hi Had my little echo for a while, and it has started to play up. It was initially stalling, so I adjusted the carb, and couldn't seem to get it right. Echo tells you to tune by finding the leanest point using the L screw, and then to tune to 4k rpm using the idle screw and then bring the revs down to 3200 by unscrewing the L screw. While doing this using a tachometer, after finding the leanest point, I was unable to get the revs to 4k with the idle screw, it would go down to about 4200, and then drop down to about 3300 a fraction of a turn later. So in then just tuned down to 3200 using the L screw when the revs were at 4200. After this, the engine would continue to rev high for a few seconds after the throttle was released, which lead me to believe I had an air leak, so I dismantled it, and done a pressure test and it held pressure just fine, and I poured soapy water on all the seals and had no bubbles. Now I'm at a loss and need advice while I still have the saw apart Thanks
