66 problem

[Firestorm]

Help please 🙏

After a couple of months sitting idle, My 66 starts and runs but revs drop off and won't cut.

I emptied fuel and put in fresh but no difference.

Any suggestions please guys 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Sounds like it’s goosed - I’ll give you £50 for it.

£70...if you include postage

I must have missed your post. £80 if it is a 066 Stihl...................

Anyway....is this and 066 Stihl or Husqvarna 66?

As far as "Not Cutting"....what happens....does the saw just die, bog or anything else?

If you hold the throttle open without cutting, does the saw rev out fine or die?

It may be that in the period you left the saw, a bit of dust in the carb gauze strainer dried up and pretty much blocked the thing. 

Was the saw working 100% right up to the last second of use before laying up or is this the old ebay...seize in a shed thing.

Damnit Spud, now I'm invested in the latest mysterious saw saga.

 

I'd be interested to know if "a couple of months" was actually more like eighteen?

Quite likely but fear we may never know. 

I am pondering if he had a Robot-wars robot back in the day.....Perhaps they left it for two months and then it wouldn't start
