My neighbor and I have these saws.  His has been used fairly well, mine has about 8 tanks of gas through it.

His stopped oiling the chain, he cleaned it and it worked fine after.

Mine stopped prior to his, I've cleaned it with no success.  I've bored out the EPA hole, no success.  However, I did not have a lot of time to work on it so I've not gone any further.  I'm posting more as a bookmark, but I've noted that some people have this problem and it does not seem great for a fix.

I'm going with a thorough cleaning and validation the pump and so forth is not busted.   This thread is interesting though.

Thanks for the input ceyko, with so many people having the same problems on brand new or nearly new husky's, it shows the problem is an design issue or cheap faulty parts.

I hope we can all figure out exactly what part is failing and why. And post it here so others will know as a future reference.
