Thanks for all your assistance guys. I did as Spudulike suggested, removed the plug, cleaned it off, reversed the saw and pulled the starter half a dozen times to clear fuel in the cylinder. After putting the plug back in, she fired first pull on full choke. Put her to half choke and she started and ran second pull. Result!

She now starts and runs perfectly and I know where to come if I have any more problems with my raft of Sthil machines in the garden shed 🐵

Thanks for getting back . Sometimes peeps don't once their problem is solved . 👍
