New to Arbtalk - Stihl 009 Problem

[Dan Earp]

Urgh the stihl four mix pole saws are pants. There is many people who have had problems with the four mix engines. One has been sat on the bench for ages as I'm trying to figure out the running problems with it.

 

Have you looked at the carb and setting as ours went and that was the problem, so new carb was ordered and fitted

It'll be the little valves inside. Not worth the fix as it'll only happen again. Hang on till next year if you can in the hope that they bring out a 2-mix version- these engines are amazing.
