Hi all - I tried searching the forum to see if this has previously been asked/answered, but couldn't see. Out of curiosity, does anyone know, with total certainty, who makes Motomix for Stihl? It clearly says on the cans 'made for Stihl' rather than 'by Stihl', so I was just wondering if anyone knows who? Thanks!

Thanks for your replies, everyone. The dealer here in the USA said that the carburettor was unserviceable because it was ‘full of varnish’. I don’t run the saw very frequently, and have (for the last decade) only used Motomix. I’ve never had an issue with the saw, and the last time I ran it (last May), it started and ran perfectly as always. Because of the age of the saw, and not being an expert in carburettors, I trusted the dealer when they told me about it, but a bit sceptical that the issue had arisen in a few months since running without issue….. ah well, I guess the moral of the story is, don’t do anything to Stihl saws if they’re not broken…….!

Hi All - I have a MS341, owned from new since 2007. I moved out to the USA last year - decided to get it serviced (no issues at all with it, just giving it some care!). Stihl dealership said the carburettor needed replacing so I thought ‘oh well - it’s quite old’ so told them to do it. Since I started enquiring, I found out that the MS341 uses a HD35 carburettor but despite this, the dealer has ordered and fitted an HD34 which apparently is for the MS361. My query to you learned folks is - is it ok to fit a HD34 to a MS341, or should I tell the dealer that I want a HD35 as manufacturer intended?? Thanks in advance!
