I thought it was fuel issues so replaced carb but still dies. TBF it's a cheap husky that's done a lot of work so may just be worn out.
I'm lucky enough to work in engineering so have some helpful and knowledgeable guys who I work with. Just need to get some petrol to make 2 stroke first then one of them is going to have a look
I'm no expert, but I have a fair bit of experience with these small carbs, largely through model aeroplane flying - the 30cc petrol engine I had in a 10ft span Auster used a Walbro clone carb. The experience transferred nicely to my 2008 petrol strimmer.
IME, if it dies, it's not getting enough fuel. You've changed the carb, but what about the feed line from the tank? These fuel lines don't last forever, and the weighted filter on the end (the 'clunk') can clog too.
Sounds like you can prime it with the bulb and it runs, but dies. Try giving it a prime with the bulb as it's dying and see if it perks up. If it does, it's being starved of fuel feed from the tank. If you've never changed the fuel feed pipe and clunk I bet that's your problem.
The fuel pipe needs to be petrol resistant. I got a new clunk and a metre of petrol resistant fuel tube from a model aeroplane shop.
