Last month I dug out my last old 346XP from under the bench. Fueled it up, sharpened the chain and it ran like a scalded dog! I forgot how much fun that saw could be. It's been probably 10 years since I used it in production work. The Still 200T cuts everything I need up until it's time for the 372XP. If there is medium size wood it's only a couple cuts and not enough to bother with a third saw.
Anyway, it ran great the first day and 2 weeks later when I brought it on a job it would idle great but die when you went full throttle. I have done the following-
1. Replaced the plug and fuel pickup filter.
2. Rebuilt and then replaced the carb.
3. Swapped out the coil.
While swapping out the carb I noticed the impulse line was loose fitting on the nipples. Now I'm thinking that might be my issue and I wasted a bunch of money swapping out parts that were still good. I only paid for the carb ($80), the coil was a good spare I had from a parts saw. Fuel and impuls lines are all very pliable and flexible with no visible defects, but like I said the impulse line almost fell off when I grabbed it.
