My 026 Stihl won't start. Last used successfully about 2 weeks ago. Used fresh gas/oil mix. Ran good........ Here's the issue now:
Won't start. Put small amount of fuel directly in carb/choke entry point. It started/ran for about 3 seconds.
Did this three times, same result. Removed in-tank filter, removed air-filter, removed carb (did not tear down), pulled
fuel-line and blew out gently. No apparent obstructions. Changed plug & it's getting good spark. Still, the only way it
will run (for about 3 secs.) is to put fuel in carb or cylinder. This sounds like a carb or fuel line problem to me. Any
suggestions on a remedy will be appreciated.
