Stihl 012av. Started using it yesterday first time this season. Hard to get started, but ran well after that. But it did smoke badly for first few minutes. It was dry stored.

Today started first pull, no smoke. But twice it quit at idle when I touched the trigger. Started first pull each time and ran fine under power.

A couple times I notice it "wet itself", that is when I set it down, shut off, there seemed to be a wet spot under it, that did not seem like bar oil. Too thin. But, other than that does not seem to be leaking mix.

No problem, or something else?
