Set at 1 and a quarter at the moment but still not starting mate ?

Hi all I'm after a bit of advice not used my 026 for a while got it out today it started but run rough tried to retune it and now it wot run and after trying to start it there is a noise like its sucking air. It seems to be getting furl Fitted a new carb kit last year and it started and run fine. Were do I start Cheers

Will do mate cheers

Well carb kit came today striped carb blew it through with the air line fitted card kit and it firerd up after 5 pulls cut a few logs it run sound and fired on first pull when turned off so seems to have done the trick . Thanks all for the advice all much appreciated

Carb kit orders bill I'll let you know how I get on

Cheers all carb kit and fuel line it is then hope it sorts it up post how I get on

I will get one orderd bill and see if that sorts it. It's just strange how once it started and been used it used to start day after day it's only when it's been unused for a while it plays up

Plug hole or remove air filter and inject fuel in that way only way I can get it to start when it's been unused for while Garry

Hi all my Stihl 026 has been unused for a few months and will not run it's been hard to start when not used since if owned it as I bought it second hand but abit of fuel in the plug hole and it fires and after doing this a few times it would run fine and start like any other saw even the next day . I tried this today and it will run until it burns the fuel put in the plug hole off then bogs down and cuts out any ideas please Cheers

Cheers mate But I see it states chainbreak none were this has a chain break ?
