Husky 455 Rancher dies

[saxon]

The saw will crank good and run good for about 1 minute then will just quit running.
The L is set at 1.5 turns out and H is 1.25
What is the problem?

 

[irhunter]

run good for about 1 minute

It cuts wood, like before, for that minute?

What do you use for gas/oil? How long do you let gas sit in the saw?

How old is the saw?

I dont make it to the wood before it dies
93 octane pure gas/husky oil 50:1 I had been running the saw previously, so fuel is fresh
around 7 years old

Start simple.
Clean air filter ? Clean fuel filter ? Clean spark arrestor screen ?
Will it sit and idle for several minutes ?
Had 2 of them over the years and were great firewood saws.
