Tks MB that was the first thing I checked, well the air filter first then the FF. Then following advice here I spent some time with the L and H screws but that didn't do anything. So I pulled the gas tank and the lines were "OK" but not great. Went on to the carb and found it to be ...well not to get too technical but it didn't look so very freakin' good. Ran over to my local chainsaw guy and he said the diaphragm was shot.

He also said that it looked like I had used old gas, which I had. He says that even if treated gasohol shouldn't be used if it's more than a month old. huh I didn't know that.
