Today i grabbed my Stihl 039 from storage to do some cutting. The saw started fine and runs ok but after it warmed up the idle was way to fast. I had to turn the idle screw back at least 2 full turns.
I'm really sure when i put it away a couple months ago that it was tuned perfect. I store my saws without any gas if i put it away for a few months.
I also noticed this behaviour with my Stihl km130 hedge trimmer. Every time i grab it from storage i have to retune the carb.
I mix my own fuel (e5 gasoline and Stihl oil)
Is it normal to retune the carb after storage?
