Hi friends. Welp, i got the carb all rebuilt with the Walbro kit, cleaned out air filter, exhaust port, new spark plug, new 93 oct gas with the stihl oil (I know, not the best, once that is gone will pivot to the other oil someone mentioned). she fired up a bit hard on the first startup, but after that not bad. At WOT, runs without bogging down at all. Seems to be running good and strong.
The problem remaining now is if i set the saw down, it will idle for a bit, and eventually stall out. OR, if i pick it up before it stalls and hit the throttle, it bogs and stalls, simetimes i can get'er to rip if I 'feather' the throttle a bit. For restarting, i can't just start at idle, have to choke first, then it'll start. I attached a recording, maybe that helps explain.
