I have a Stihl 021 that won't run properly, sounds like it's starved for fuel. I try to rev it and it won't climb then trigger the throttle and I can get it to climb but it soon fails and bogs and dies.
Well I rebuilt the carb and put on a new fuel line, same thing ! Well then I checked the compression warm if that matters, bearly 100 more like 97-98 PSI. So I checked my other 021 that fired right up and runs great it reads 120PSi after pullins several times.
My question is not only what do ya think but does that much compression only 20Psi difference matter or is there probably another freaking problem :confused2:
I know it's just a small little baby saw but it's soooo cute sitting up there with the 088 and 660 flexing it's badges.
