Husqvarna 2100 2101 1100 298

Put a "new to me" 42" b/c on my 2100 the other day and went to
kick some stump butt.
Luckily I also took along my 394xp, because it ended up doing
all the work.
The 2100 starts easy, idles fine, runs good at WOT. I cut into
the stump about 6"- 8" and then it started to bog down.
Tried feathering the throttle, but could not find a spot that it
would stay running.
I have not used the 2100 since last year on another big stump
and work fine as I recall.
It had been run dry last season and put away.
Put brand new gas/oil in that morning.
Felt like it was starving for air or gas or something while in
the cut.
What are possible causes?

So the last time it was tuned it was cold? And you were running
in warmer weather, did you check the tune?

The 2100 has a governed carb and must be tuning while under
load. So they might sound fine when rev'ed up with no load
because all the fuel is coming from the limiter circuit. Once
in the cut and pulled below the limiter circuit RPM it could be
running very lean.
As well, the limiter circuit could be the problem. Their spring
check valve often gets weak and dumps extra fuel at too low of
RPM. The limiter circuit can be disabled by placing an aluminum
disk (cut from pop can) under the check valve (the brass screw
plug on the right side of the carb next to the choke shaft).
Also it could be a fuel delivery problem. Plugged fuel filter,
crracked fuel line or the carb could need a rebuild.
Good luck!

Thanks guys,
I will put a smaller bar/chain on it do some test cuts and
adjust the H side of the carb.
If that does not help, I will check and clean the
governor/limiter screw.
Then rebuild the carb and replace fuel lines and filter.
Hopefully I can get it working without doing more damage. ;D

It's a fuel thing no doubt .If anything a 2100 should not run
out of power .

I was unable to get good results with just re-tuning the carb.
Took the carb out and checked the governor.
Looks like someone had already defeated the limiter.
Found a small metal plate under the brass screw.
Will order a rebuild kit for the carb and see if that helps.

I just use a BB to defeat gov on saws like that. Did that to the
partner 550 and all was good.
