I borrowed a Stihl 44 magnum, been using it for the last three or so weeks. I used it four or five days ago, shut it off when I was finished for the day.
I tried to start it today but it would not start. I pulled the plug and it was wet with gas. I checked for spark with a spark tester between the plug wire and the plug and I see spark. I put a known good plug in from my MS 250, still no start. The plug from the 44 will run the 250 but after trying to start the 44, no start, pulled that plug and found it wet. So it isn’t a plug problem and is getting gas but it seems like it is getting too much.
What could be happening with this saw after it ran perfectly just days ago?
