Hi Bruce,

I will check the filter tonight, but wouldnt a clogged filter run it lean instead of rich?

Dont think the saw has a chain brake does anyone know where itwill be? Usually the hand guard is the brake but its just bolted on to protect the hands and it swings but doesnt lock the bar.

Chain is on correctly but has a slight grove in the sprocket teeth, maybe its slipping on that but doesnt make a noise that its slipping.

Can you let me knwo how to tune the hi and lo part of the carby?

thanks
