Hello all,

Me again, thanks once again.  What i forgot to mention was that as the saw became harder and harder to start I spoke to a tree surgeon friend of mine who put me in touch with a Stihl agent, he suggested, as I did not use the saw for some time, squirt a bit of Easystart to “get it going”

This did actually work, however, as mentioned it became unpredictable and erratic and bog down.  I then decided to once again remove/strip carb and this time replace the diaphragm with an aftermarket kit.  All looked identical so I felt happy, but unfortunately the problem was still there, not immediately, but soon after a short period of running. This is where started to look towards a new carb but became unsure what to order as Stihl UK told me that this was not the recognised carb for the year and model/serial number.

Now silage is over I can return to the workshop and will obviously persevere with all your suggestions.

I can only thank you all once again, I’m determined to find the cause/fault.

Cheers,

 

Pete

Ok, another senior moment.  Apologies “spud” for some barmpot reason I thought the name was raffle, I can see now that it reads “Raffle sponsor”.

Anyway, back to the drawing board.
