I recently got a Stihl 192 TC from a relative who wasn’t using it and it’s giving me all sorts of trouble. Initially (dumped the old gas for new) it would start but was very difficult to get to start and would die easily, especially when giving gas. I assumed it sat for a while and swapped the carb for an oem from a Stihl dealer.
Now it would start alright, but would bog down and die immediately when giving throttle. Cracking the gas lid fixed this so I swapped the old gas line vent for an oem.
Then it starts alright, but runs incredibly rough and dies shortly after starting.
New spark plug and popped the whole muffler off, runs like a scalded cat.
Muffler back on, giving me problems staying running when I start it, take the muffler back off, and it’s a bear to get started again and it bogs down again when given gas. There’s no spark arrestor at all so I know that’s not the problem.
I took the air filter off to run without and see what happens and I can feel gas spraying up out of the carb, but the carb is brand spanking new.
What else can I do with this thing? I feel like I’ve run through all the options and can’t figure anything else to try beyond putting it in a shop.
