Hello, i just joined this site, cause it seems like theres alot of help to get here.
Got a Husqvarna 359 from 2010(Zama C3-EL42 carb) that dosnt run probberly anymore, after i had it stored for 4 months. Only cut aboute 40 trees with it in total. Before it got stored, i drained the chainoil and petrol tank.
The symptoms.
It idle rough, going up and down in rev. Some times even die if i dont hit the throttle.
Also has a very unpersistant rev at max throttle, going up and down in speed.
When i try to cut wood with it, it begins to choke, and eventuly die out if i dont take it out of the wood.
Hard to start when it dies.

So far i read alot about others problems with the 359. Such as the Welbro carb problems, manifold with plastic clip, or leaking air in at the manifold.
My saw is with a Zama C3 carb, and also got a metal clamp on the intake manifold.
So fare i triede the following things;
Change the fuel lines
Cleaned the fuel tank and filter
Replace sparkplug, and set the gap to 0,5 mm as said in the manual
Cleaned the airfilter
Cleaned the exhaust
Triede using both pre-mixed aspen 2t petrol, and unleaded 98 oct with 2% husqvarna xp oil in
Taken the cylinder apart to check it and the piston for damage or cracks, didnt find any
Anyone knows what this might be? I dont have a compression tester, but can that be an issue if it runs?
The current fix im looking at is changing the carb, but that will cost me about 95$ USD here in denmark. So any other cheaper solution will be greatly appriciated.
