Took it to the dealer and he had the same problem I did. He said he couldn't get it to idle or start after it died. Even adjusting the carb. Said nothing was my fault. He took it all apart and put it back together and now it runs perfect. He said he sees a lot of saws come from the factory not out together right. Scary stuff. He is going to keep it a another day just to make sure it fires up randomly and runs well. I guess I should have bought a stihl. No way can I recommend husky now.
I have this problem also. Sometimes is more, sometimes its less. Sad thing is that I bought a Husqy because my dad has had one for 20 years and no problems, no leaks. I have had mine 2 weeks and so far the thing is less than impressive. Quality has gone down hill.
