Husky 36

I have a Husqavarna 36 chain saw. It has always started well but I really had to stay on the pipe revving it to keep it running warm. It quit running warm the other day. I cleaned the carb and it starts cold but won't run after it warms or once I take the choke off. I changed the fuel out and cleaned the filter. It revs very high and quits when I try to take the choke off or it warms up to the point where it won't run with the choke.

Ideas?

Sounds like your crankshaft seals need to be replaced. Your local dealer should be able to verify without tearing it down

Got. Had to fiddle around with the low speed jet.

If you have to adjust a previously good running saw and haven't used any suspect fuel, good chance the crank seals might be going. Not a real expensive thing to replace, but you want it done right and you want it tested before you decide it has to be the seals. Could be a lot of things or just varnish building up in the passages. Keep track of it.
