Thanks for all the replies. I was thinking about it alot and decided to try the business card instead of the feeler guage and it came back to life. My feeler guage was brass and was not straight. It had alot of little bends here and there but the card was straight and no creases where the feeler had creases along it. I readjusted the carb and it does not cut out now . Glad to have it back. Dealer tried to talk me into buying a battery chain saw but I decided to figure this one out. Glad I did.
