May be the spark arresting screen in the muffler.

does the muffler vent towards the sleeve?if so the fuel line is vapor locking and the muffler needs 2 holes drilled in the front.My 141 did the same.

I used to have the same problem with some older Huskys, they didn't like hot dry weather. What temp have you got now 40+?

Altitude can be a problem, you might have the reverse effect. Try a bit richer tuning?

Maybe Saw Troll will come out of nowhere & help, he can usually spot a 346 post,

Check to see if it has a flap from the cylinder area to the air intake. These are for cold climates. If it is open you will have this problem in Aust.
I had the same problem with a 288.

Inspect the fuel lines closly for pin holes - this just was up on another forum.....

Also check the fuel tank vent, just to make sure.

Geday KIMTREE up north,

Have you ever had carby off, it might pay to check the screws/nuts holding carby to cylinder, also agree with Sawtroll re fuel lines, but would check fit/tightness of fuel lines onto fittings, as well as pin holes.

Other than that, buy a STIHL mate, nothing ever goes wrong with red and white. (Not!)

Good luck.
