Hi all new to this forum,I have a stihl ms460 which has never given any trouble until lately.The problem is when using the saw it dies as if you hit the kill switch starts again straight away.This problem could happen 3 times a day and not appear for a week or two.I have checked all wires and everything seems ok any suggestions welcome.Thanks in advance John.

Two simple things to check, flywheel to ignition coil gap and also the gauze filter in the carb - try those two things:thumbup:

Hi all removed carburettor and put it in my brothers ultrasonic cleaner reassembled and have used nearly a tank of petrol so far so good.Saw also seems a lot easier to start :001_smile:.As an aside chain oil delivery always seems poor enough on this saw when using a 24 inch bar is this normal.

 

HI MATE can you not open up oil chain pump to max on the 24"bar thanks jon :thumbup:
