So I was helping my step-dad this weekend and in the back of his barn sits a Stihl 034 that looked like it has been sitting there for quite sometime. I asked him why he hadnt been using it..."last time I did, was several years ago. It would run good for about 30 min, then bog down and quit. Let it cool down and it would run good for a short time again. So I set it there and forgot about it."
Well, sure enough. I take it home, clean it up real good, sharpen the chain, give it new gas and bar oil and get it running. runs like a champ and cuts great, for about 20 minutes, just like he said. Felt like it was bogging down bad, then stalled. I started it back up and same thing.try to start it again and it seemed like it was starving for fuel, when it did fire, it would rev up real high and die almost as fast.
Any ideas?...I dont have a clue...
Thanks, Ray
