Just badly needed help, got my Stihl 009 been not running for because I cant find a chain sold locally. But now the thing won't run.
Steps made:
New plug
check ground fault , is ok
Carb has been cleaned
Needle lever is flush - set ok
Check fuel lines
New fuel line
New vent line
Fresh fuel
Magneto resistance values has been the same as service manual suggested
I have no compression gauge and spark plug tester but as I've tested myself, removed plug and the sticker my finger through the whole and sealed with a rag, the chamber becomes hot with the compression.
The spark seems weak but burns fuel when left in the air. Acting to start only if left the head open over night but immediately dies.
Played with the jet settings as service manual indicated but no success. I just wish it would only rev to tune it up but seems like the engine becomes flooded and the sparkplug is now unable to burn the fuel. I have to manually drain and let the piston surface dry before it acts to start then dies.
Fuel can be seen moving since the fuel line I've bought was transparent hose with the same diameter.
Reed valve was cleaned and remounted.
Now I have no way of knowing where to trouble shoot the stuff other than bring it to Stihl but the shop's too far roughly 300 miles.
Any input about this problem?
