As I was using my Husky 257 last weekend it started to run poorly, it would start fine but when the throttle was applied it just quit. Then I remember something from past experience why this could be happening, it turns out I was correct.
I don't know how many other people with chainsaws have had this problem but I thought I would share this. MY problem was related to a small fuel filter located in the fuel tank. The part costs less than $3.00 and takes 5 minutes to change. Some saws have a felt filter others have a plastic type.
What hapens is the filter keeps particles from getting into the carb. but also traps and holds water that may find it's way into the fuel. Eventually enough water gets trapped in the filter so that only a small amount of fuel is able to get to the engine.
