I wanted to post the "Fix"
I am not good fixing small gas powered tools .... yea I do the basic stuff
So today I took my saw to a place that sells and fixes Stihl saws
A little while back they put a new fuel tank breather tube on
So today they sort of remembered me
I told the counter man ... the son of the owner , what the problem was
He looked me up in the computer and ask if they had done a check of the saw after replacing the breather tube ?
I said no and he muttered I will not repeat what he said ... but someone is going to get a talking to
Stating that it was included in the breather tube replacement price
So he checked the fuel filter and put new fuel in the saw and tried it
Stalled after a few seconds
He checked the carb and saw the carb had never been touched
He checked and ajusted the carb , not bad for a saw I bought in 1999
He told me a fuel hose was in need of being changed , but would be OK for now
But he just handed me the saw back and didn't charge me anything
