Hello,
I am new to the forum, although I've been looking at it for a long time, I just joined.
I have Stihl 039 (1993) very hard to start, runs fine after starting and will start again, pull it 6 or 7 times on full choke and it locks up, with fuel in the cylinder, I guess, spark plug comes wet, pull it over with no plug, to clean out cylinder, dry the plug out, do the same with half choke, same result, with no choke, just won't start. Maybe i'm just getting old. Any ideas why it would flood? Lots of compression it's a beast to pull on, and sometimes it kicks back and about rips my arm off.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
