020 stihl stops running after you let up on the trigger

Sounds like an air leak somewhere. Usually in the crankshaft seals. It runs fine wide open but won't idle and is difficult to start

Can't get a spark on Stihl 020 chainsaw. Tried another coil and switch module but still no spark

It is possible your flywheel has lost it's magnet strength, if you noticed it turn a blue. Can take off flywheel and replace with a good one. Or you can play with the gap on the magneto/coil, and insert a piece of paper between the coil and the flywheel magnets, to set for air gap.

Air gap and spark plug gap 025stihl chain saw

the air gap is about a business card thick and the plug gap is .020. Stihl has a special tool to measure exact air gaps so the business card is close

To lock the choke on:-
1. depress dead mans trigget on top of back handle
2. squeeze throttle trigger fully in.
3. slide on switch fully down to 'full choke' position. 'it should stay there'.
4. Pull saw over until it fires once.
5. click 'on' switch up one position to 'half choke'
6. pull saw over again, saw should start running and be revving high.
7. 'blip' throttle, saw should stop revving and run on tick over.

Oil pump on 020 stihl

Remove the side casing,then remove the spark plug and use a piston block to stop the piston rising while you remobe the clutch, once the clutch is off, the drum, bearing and oil work should be removable,along with the 2 plastic crank coveres. Once all this has been taken off you will have access to the oil pump.

Most likely this is caused by one or both of the following. The low speed jet needs adjusting or the idle speed is adjusted too low. Most saws the user can adjust the idle speed as the adjustment screw is not protected. Adjust the idle speed so that the chain just stops turning. It may be necessary to adjust the speed up till it will stay running for you and then start turning it down till the chain stops. If the low speed jet needs adjusting it may be a better idea to run it by a Stihl service center and have them tune it up for you.

Testimonial: "I thought there was a way I could tune it. I am not familiar with the two adjustments, but you just helped me. thank you"
