I have a McCulloch 360T
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. Can't get it up to speed.
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 (correct mix) fuel, general clean to get rid of any oil or wood chip build up.
I just took plug out again ..after today's running - nice biscuit colour so all seems well there.
Used compressed air to blow through carburettor breather pipe back to tank - all clear.
Carburettor is a Zama W26 .... not sure if it has a diaphragm or not, if so I suppose that could be suspect.
Any suggestions ?
