Hi all - my Stihl has two unusual things going onl
1) it starts and revs very quickly (engages the blade if not locked) and then cuts out when I dechoke it. I have cleaned all new fuel through it. I have tinkered about with the carb screws but to no significant change.
2) when I do get it running (requires revving to maintain it), it seems to lack any power in the cut. I have replaced chain but for now am not using it as the startup worries me - since it gets so hot.
What should I start with - do I need to get to the carburetta? Do I have an air leak?
Apologies in advance for such newbie questions.
