I am helping a friend with a Stihl MS170 that will not run right. He had put bar oil in the gas tank. I cleaned all that and cleaned and boiled the carb out, put a rebuild kit it in. It still won't come off idle and rev. It will idle all day, soon as you hit the trigger it just bogs out. I tried bending the fulcrum arm to get a little more fuel and it didn't help. Put a new fuel line and filter, checked tank vent, still doesn't want to run. It has good compression.
I ordered a new carb but is there something I could be missing? Given the fact that it idles fine, I don't think it has an air leak.
Any help is appreciated
