This saw has been used very little, but when making a cut the thing just shut off like I cut the switch off and will not restart. I checked the fire, and it is getting a good spark, so I am assuming it is a fuel issue. Going to put a new carb on it. What is the easiest way to change it without disassembling too much? This is the first and only Husky I have owned.

Could be lots of things- could throw a new carb at it, might fix things might not.
Could be any of the wires earthing out when the say is working- check them all for loose connections or insulation chaffing.
Faulty kill switch- disconnect and see if problem persists.
Kinked, soft fuel line collapsing under vacuum.
Blocked tank vent.
Carbon fouled spark arrestor screen.
Dirty carb and or bad diaphragm.
Soft or damaged impulse line.

Changed carb, fuel lines, filter, coil, plug, checked all wires. Same thing. This saw has been used less than 4 hrs since new.
