Looking for ideas on what could be wrong with my 15 year old chaninsaw. I go through several cords of wood a year so maybe it just plain wore out??? Poulan 16inch. Compresson is 110, new gas filter, new plug, clean air filter, carb is nice and tight to manifold, exhaust is clean, fuel lines were replaced last year and use alchol-free gas. It has zilch for power. When cutting a 3 inch log it wants to bog down - better the chain bites the worse it is. Once done cutting the log I have to work the gas several times to get the speed to come back up. When setting flat it does leak some gas and will until it is empty - cracked gas tank? Would this cause it? Gas cap is difficult to screw on and off but even using it with the cap very loose makes no difference. Anything else I can check?
