Hi. New to forum and first time posting.
Recently acquired a second hand stihl FS 460. Been having trouble getting it to continue going after it starts. Starts easily however It dies after a couple of minutes of running. I can open the throttle or leave it in choke and it does not make a difference. Opening the throttle makes it die faster. Have taken it to an old school stihl serviceman and he thinks it's the electronics. He does not think its the piston or carb. Any opinions on this?
It is pretty new and I don't doubt the previous owner when he said it has only done a couple of hours.
Any one have a similar problem and hopefully a solution? I hope to avoid sending it to a stihl shop as I don't want to increase my mortgage anytime soon.
Thanks in advance
