Took me 3 days to figure out why my saw kept bogging in wet oak
Had a red oak removal back in April that should have taken a day and a half, and it turned into three days of pure frustration. Saw kept bogging down every few cuts like it was starving for fuel, so I rebuilt the carb, swapped the plug, even drained the tank thinking it was bad gas from the station on Route 9. Turned out the air filter was packed with fine sawdust that I couldn't see until I held it up to the sun, and a $12 filter fixed what two days of wrenching couldn't. Back when I started in '09 we ran saws with half the power and never had this problem because the filters were coarser and we cleaned them every single tank. Anybody else notice newer saws are way pickier about filter maintenance, or is it just me?
