Stihl 011 avt white case - help
How old are the white case 011's I got one for 25$ and it was running at the time. I would have to feather it to get it up to higher RPMs. Then put my own gas in it that I use for my MS290...and it quit running. I downloaded the manual for the 011 and it said to NOT use high octane which is opposite of the what the local dealer says for the MS290. Odd. I've checked the obvious things like new spark plug and cleaned air filter. It had some compression based on it sucking my thumb. Any ideas? my next steps I think I'll try are in this order: new plug, try regular gas with exact mix stihl calls for and seeing if the dealer here will test the system for pressure, tweaking the carb settings and gas filter if the above does not work, carb kit?? But I'm just guessing since I don't have much experience with small engines lately. My last real experience was auto class in high school and rebulding a Johnson 2hp outboard in highschool. I graduated in 1992.
My major question for those of you who know anything about small engines like this stihl... What could cause a 2cycle to have to be feathered like that to get to higher RPMs. I've seen a number of outboards that do this too and it is sometimes the fuel pump??? I'm guessing it's either a fuel, carb or seal problem.
Does stihl still sell parts for this model?
