Hi, I have 2 husqvarna 272xp`s that were my Father in-laws.Before he passed he had 1 of three fixed I recently got the other 2 and pulled a few parts off one to make a complete saw.My question is that when I start the saw it runs fine at idle and will make a few cuts and then dies out like it is running out of gas when it warms up.I put a new plug in it and It did not fix the problem,the air cleaner does not appear to be too dirty and the saw had a tag on it that said low psi 100/120 from the saw shop. Is this too low of compression under a load or does it sound like an ignition problem?Or possibly fuel&air filters?

To diagnose if its fuel related its best to remove the air filter and try to start with airo start. If no go and you know you have spark it's time for a compression test.
pull the mandrel off and take it to a small engine repair shop. there are just 2 or 3 sizes and they will have one sitting on the shelf. those mowers are made by the same company which makes most all the rest of them, AYP or MTD. small engine and mower repair shops can be found in the yellow pages.
One turn out from lightly seated on both High and low speed jets. Not supposed to use stock answers on here but I just made a post recently that may be of help....Cheers!

I'd guess at a dirty carb. If its been sitting the gas may have gone bad and clogged up the carb. Try spraying some carb cleaner in the mouth of the carb. It's possible that the idle is turned up too high to compensate for clogged ports in the carb. This is a possibility but not a guaranteed solution. Good luck.
