Stihl 026 won't start

[Dazonit]

Hi all my Stihl 026 has been unused for a few months and will not run it's been hard to start when not used since if owned it as I bought it second hand but abit of fuel in the plug hole and it fires and after doing this a few times it would run fine and start like any other saw even the next day .

I tried this today and it will run until it burns the fuel put in the plug hole off then bogs down and cuts out any ideas please

Cheers

I,d say you got carb problems, but you never have to put fuel down plug hole to get a saw going

Plug hole or remove air filter and inject fuel in that way only way I can get it to start when it's been unused for while Garry

Shouldn,t have to do that though if it was sorted properly

Get a carb kit for it and give the carb a good clean and replace all the bits. Might need a tune up after. That's were I'd start anyways.

I will get one orderd bill and see if that sorts it.

It's just strange how once it started and been used it used to start day after day it's only when it's been unused for a while it plays up

Things deteriorate with age, fuel goes stale etc, clean the carb, fit a new kit, replace the fuel line and filter, she’ll be reight [emoji106]

Cheers all carb kit and fuel line it is then hope it sorts it up post how I get on

My 026 is the same, leave it for a few weeks and hard to start, if you have used it that week starts 3rd pull.

Carb kit orders bill I'll let you know how I get on
