Hey all, coming back to the experts here - I am seeming to run into a flooding issue with my old saw (it's a Stihl 0-41AV "farmboss") when I try to start it up. At least, as best I can tell.
Here's the deal: it ran great on Thursday, Saturday AM I changed out the 16" bar for a 20" (turned it to its side) and went to start - no go. Pulled the plug and it was wet. Made sure I had a spark and even switched spark plugs, but just could not get it going and a good layer of gas/oil mix developed on the muffler.
This seems to happen like once a month. If I pull the spark plug, drain the tank and let it sit overnight it tends to come right back but that's no way to work!
Any ideas out there?
