Starts fine .. either hot or cold ... which in itself is a good
indicator that many things are Ok with the saw.

In use ... be cutting fine then revs will die, then get to a point with
chain out of the wood .... tickover is fine, but when I try to rev it
picks up, but after about 20-30% of power then dies off ... often to a
stall.
It can often take 10 or more attempts before it will get to point that
revs will open up .. then it cuts fine ... but a few minutes later it
will start again.

When it is revving it cuts fine with no loss of power.

I have cleaned air filter, checked plug gap, used new fuel, general
clean to get rid of any oil or wood chip build up.

Any tips ?


Chain jamming or chain brake fault? I presume youre using the correct
oil/fuel mix and the engine isnt tightening up? How about the chain oiler?
Is it consuming oil at the expected rate?

Possibly although my money would be on Chris and Harry's suggestions of
a fuel blockage.
