Hi All, <br /><br />The saw in question is an older 015AV. It runs great for about 5 minutes then will die suddenly. <br />Coil problem? I don't think it's a carb problem. Just cleaned it. What else should I be looking at?<br /><br />Thanks<br />Dave

No restart.<br />It has to cool down for about 10/15 minutes then it will run like all get out until it heats up and dies again. It is electronic. will that heat up and give out? Maybe I need a new coil?<br />Thanks<br /><br />Dave

Air cleaner clean? You said the carb is clean. Can you restart it when it dies? It could be the electronics heating up and giving out.<br /><br />Bob
