    I've learned different things about taking care of and starting my stihl 170 chainsaw over the last few years. this is the simplest solution to having a flooded engine that I've seen. I needed this advice since whatever I knew before didn't turn out to be enough to solve the problem. Thanks for removing once and for all a recurring headache !

    Thank you. I have a 6 month old 291 that I only used a few times. I was about to take it in for warranty. I learned that the 291 floods very easily and are crap saws, but this trick works. Thank you.

      I wanted a new 291 or 271 but ended up going with a completely rebuilt ms290 and a completely rebuilt ms029. Package for the same price as a new saw.
      Much better.

    Good video! Those 250's flood so easy! Only way can start mine....both 250's is couple real slow pulls the impulse line will prime em. One fast pull choked. Then drop start FULL throttle. No choke. The Stihl manual advises against drop starts. Guess the damn thing not gonna hurt you if it don't run...Huh!

    100% best way to fix flooding, the MS 881 even keeps the throttle locked wide open in half choke to start easier.

    Also if you just switched to Aspen fuel… that can cause all sorts of starting issues… went from VP racing 2 cycle fuel to Aspen and my saw will not even attempt start… even if I wait a few days it hasn’t started. It ran fine with original fuel for a tree shut it off and hasn’t started since

    Great advice. That 40 pull exercise made me cancel my gym membership!! Discovered my Stihl shiet saw has a broken throttle control. It isn’t that used a Stihl. It is too clean from all the trips to the shop to fix the throttle control the last time!!!! 311Y is crap.

    What to do when the cylinder of a stihl 172 chainsaw is flooded / won't start? How do you do this on the 172, since its switch is spring-loaded and doesn't lock in the off position?

  • @johnwright6706
    @johnwright6706 ปีที่แล้ว

    I know the new Stihl suggests you pull slightly until you feel resistance, and then yank for start. Not quite the "good-bye shoulder" most seem to use. Everytime i fo that it starts on 2 yanks
