Hey Robby. There is an assumption that the crankshaft seals were worn out. The crankcase is not tight enough. Try replacing them. in many cases, it helped. Good luck!
I have same problem. Replaced flywheel and coil...they were worn but that never fixed problem. Replaced kill switch and I got spark. BUT still takes many many pulls to get ignition. Not sure if it is fuel supply issue? Saw same video pulling on module wires, mine are all fine. Did you ever determine final fix on this? thanks for the video.
Hey folks I’m a stihl certified mechanic there is a couple grounds that need to be checked 1 is on the left side of engine where that metal plate is the covers the wiring then there is one on the engine sensor (bottom screw) don’t forget the wires that go from generator to the controller (old style is separate wires black and blue look for rubbing and black spots on crankcase there may be bare wire that will shut you down newer models have heat shrink on wires, correct spark plug will make a difference
How does the throttle cable attach

Thank you for the information.

Hi Warren, I did not. I do not have the tools to diagnose the computer. If I did more STIHL work I would definitely invest.
Hi how can you replace the throttle locking spring as it pop out when I replace the throttle cable
You need patience. Have you searched for diagrams or any pictures of the setup online?
Very interesting!
Very!
That is the exust side of the unit not the intake
Thanks
You need a mdg diag to check it
Yeah I do not have one.
I have one that wont stay running
Any luck getting it running?
Hey Robby , I don't know how I missed this video of yours. I would have done the exact same thing if I were diagnosing that saw . Take care my friend.
Right on
If I was you I'd check the coil under the flywheel
Agree

Thank you for that information Mike.
