Odd TS420

[stihltech]

Something different from the norm.
Ts420 cutoff saw on the bench. Acts like choke is stuck on.
Take air filter and cover off, problem solved. New air filter, same issue.

Before I give the cure, anybody else see this on this model?

Blocked air intake horns on the left side behind the flywheel? At least, that's what I have ran into on the 2 I serviced last summer.
A huge PIA to clear and clean out properly.
