How can I stop a pollen chain saw from flooding?

this saw will run for a short time then it will start flooding

How can I stop a pollen chain saw from flooding?
Throw it in the ditch and go buy a Stihl.
Reply:Flooding is due to too much fuel, and/or not enough air.





Here are some thoughts:





Have you checked the air filter - it could be blocked with dust.





I assume you have turned off the choke - that's only needed to start it with an extra-rich fuel mixture.





Is your spark plug fouled with carbon? Remove it and clean or replace it.





Have you recently had a tune-up to make sure the mixture and idle adjustments are correct?





Are you using the proper oil:gas mixture?





That's all I can think of.
Reply:the air fuel mix screws are out of adustment have it tuned and the mix set
