The ethanol crap they put in gas destroys the rubber fuel lines in these things. I have 4 saws and have had to do surgery on 3 of them for the same thing. Often the hose is cracked right where it leaves the tank and heads up to the carb. I think that is because it gets a combination of heat soak and ****ty fuel.

Yours sounds like it is sucking air...... especially at full throttle. Once you check out your fuel line I also recommend you use Startron in your mix...... it may save your saw from going lean because of the H2O the ethanol attracts.

A lot of guys up here have had saws destroyed because of this ethanol garbage......... two stroke sleds, too!
