I know guys it isnt a chainsaw but I figured yall could help more then anyone else. I have a stihl fs110r (4-mix engine) trimmer that I have been messing with for a week or 2. When I got it it would run really rough and smoke alot (I think the timing was off) I've taken it apart and cleaned it and made sure the timing was right. It wont start at all with the choke on. It will start with the choke off and run at wide open throttle (but it will pulse or race and not run smooth). and will run at idol when the idol is turned way up. Some times it will start right up and sometimes it wont start at all. I'm wondering what everyone think it is the coil, carb (with I've cleaned but not rebuilt) or some other problem. I'm wanting to get some ideas before I start dumping alot of money (which I dont have) into this thing.
