stihl km100r

[sns general maintenance]

Hi, I have a stihl kombi km100r 2012 that I can not get to start. I bought it as a spare as I have a km130r but have decided to try and get it going. I have checked that it is getting a spark and the valve gap is correct. The condition of the carb looked good but have ordered a kit just incase. The only thing i have noticed it does seem to be pumping fuel through like crazy and soaking the plug. Plz can anyone advise other things to try. Thanks

those machines don't like to be left for months with fuel in, diaphragms maybe

 

easy start squirted in the air filter has often got stuff to fire

Had a similar problem with something I rebuilt.. I knew every aspect was working, but just couldn't get it to fire... Until I reset the ignition coil the correct distance from the flywheel. Not saying it is that, but at least you can work a process of elimination
