Mt trusty saw has decided to start playing up. It started bogging when I opened the throttle on it so naturally assumed it had started to run a bit rich or possibly lean (I find it hard to tell the difference between a rich bog and a lean bog).
So bought a new plug (old one wasn’t too bad – not rich, decent tan colour) and stripped and cleaned the carb. All looked okay in there but it had picked up some crap so completely cleaned it, checked fuel lines etc. Re-built it and still the same. Idles reasonably ok but as soon as I touch the throttle it bogs and I have to carefully try and get it through the mid-range of its revs until its on the very top end where it seems to run ok in the very top of its revs.
Genrally speaking though, it’s very temperamental now. Hard to start, difficult to keep on tickover and near impossible to get it into some power.
Thoughts?
