I have a 026. It still has good compression, (150 psi) but it was getting harder and harder to start until it wouldn't start at all. I changed the spark plug and then I could get it to start but not without great effort. Even after it warms up it is still hard to start. Should I rebuild the carb? I have not had good luck with the stihl dealers in the area fixing my saws it seems that they can never get them working right.
