Hi Ernie,
Thank you for contacting Husqvarna.
You are correct in assuming that you have a fuel delivery issue or an air leak. It sounds like the carburetor needs a good cleaning and possible rebuild. You could also have some restrictions in the fuel filter/hose area. The carburetor would need to be reset too. But that has to be performed by an authorized service center. Once you know everything is good with the carburetor I would start checking for air leaks with a pressure/vacuum gauge. Hope this helps.
