Was sawing all day. Started out running my Husqvarna 288XP. Ran the thing most of the day, probably cut 3 or 4 cords of wood with it. All of a sudden, it started not wanting to idle, ran good, and had good power, but was high idling, just, running way too fast on what should have been "idle". Decided it was best just to dismiss it for the day, and got out one of my other saws to finish up.
Get home tonight, and fire it up, same thing. Starts / runs great, but idling really high?? Shut the saw off, and made a carb adjustment, won't run now, and I noticed a knocking sound (fairly loud) when I am pulling on the rope?? Something must have failed internally, but, considering the events, I really don't know WHAT that something might be?? Nothing feels different when I am pulling it through, even very slowly? Still has good compression too?
I completely rebuilt the saw, it has new everything inside it. Meteor piston.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
