Guess this will be my introduction to the forum so hello to everyone
I was given two chainsaws one is a Stihl 034 AV super the other a Husqvarna 162 SE
the 162 SE has no chain break and starts and runs really good put a new gas filter on put fresh mixed gas in and three pulls she was running and idling and revving the Stihl how ever is another story
The Stihl will start if you remove the air filter and spray a little starting fluid in the carb will fire up but dies within 10 seconds
I have cleaned the carb replaced the filter in the gas tank but nothing I try will seem to make it stay running long enough to adjust the carb or anything it has a Zama carb which appears to be in good condition pulled it completely apart
looking for suggestions as to where or what to check to get the Stihl running
Thanks for reading my post in advance
