My Stihl 026 will not start and run

pull the plug crank it with the plug hole downward no throttle no choke, to be sure all the fuel is out of the engine.. then let it site a couple hours plug hole down,,, the lower the octane the hotter the fuel burns, the higher the octane the SLOWER it burns.. in my stihls i run low ocane and no boosters, in my race cars I ran lowest octane I could find... I am the nhra-vw points champion for 1978.. I also hold the record for all of nhra for the most points in one event... higher octane slows the burn rate and volatility of the fuel, producing a more steady burn, like whats needed in small planes, there you want a a constant burn rate.. not sure of the age of your stihl but real old had points then they went to simple electronic then to pos electronic the go no go type, the early electronic rarely went out right dead without warning, you have spark so that shouldnt be the problem, the carb may be the one with flapper valve or the ballbearing valve or little plastic stopper, the flapper will let water through so it gets pumpout fast, the ball bearing not as well the dam stopper is even less efficient for that, .. no water they can all flood easy the spark plug get a little wet and being 2 cycle the oil shut the plug off, wont spark when you put it in of the engine has too much fuel... use either to blow it out it dries fast and you can put it back in after about 5 minutes... a trick to see if it will fire is knowings its all dry, hold the throttle full open and have some one spray a small shot of starter fluid just a spit right as you pull the cord, you should get a few hits, then you can do the choke and prime per the instructions for your model...

I have a Stihl MS 180 c chainsaw 2012 need to see where the coil wires run to on both sides where they connect please help thank you

The long switch spring touches the black wire when in the off position. Follow the spring towards the tank. It has a tab (spade) for the yellow wire female spade connector.

Can't get attachments to work... try following link for a pic of the switch.

Stihl ms291 needs oil adjustment. Where is the screw located to adjust the bar oiler.

MS291 Does NOT have an oil adjustment screw. It is an auto oiler. Make sure the ports are clean and oil is coming out running the saw with chain off. Then add a little canola oil to your chainsaw bar oil and thin it down. You will get a better flow. Stihl has a poor design on this model.

Only 2 tanks of gas through my Stihl MS251 and the chain oiler is not working.

Greetings & salutations Steve Parent, That sounds more like a (quality indictment) statement... but a good one... Includes Make & model (a rare pleasure) Great SAW too... If it is as new as it sounds... I'll skip over my first guess and tell you to take it immediately back to your retailer... and get one that works... Page 34 of your OWNERS MANUAL (below) says you should top-up your oil tank EVERY TIME you refuel...!! More IMPORTANTLY... says if your oil is not going down... check your oiling system... or take it in for SERVICE... Again... IF IT IS AS NEW as it sounds... TAKE IT BACK...!! http://www.stihlusa.com/WebContent/CMSFileLibrary/InstructionManuals/STIHL-MS-251-Owners-Instruction-Manual.pdf

Stihl trimmer starts first time and runs good. After turning it off and it sits, it will not start again without taking the plug out for a few minutes.

When you take the plug out, it is wet with fuel? It sounds like it is running rich and that's is why it starts first time. When you try to restart it is like have the choke in operation. I fixed your garbled question for you :>)

Red Light model 066. When assembled, Why doesn't the piston go all the way up to the top of the cylinder?

Looks like crank design change somewhere in 1996.

How do I stop my Sthil chainsaw blowing white smoke? Is it a problem and what can I do to fix it?

Hi, 1. The chainsaw has an oil reservoir which lubricates the chain in use. Using it a lot will cause sawdust to stick to that oil. Remember to top up the oil reservoir after each use with proper chainsaw oil. 2, There's probably too much 2-stroke oil in the petrol. It's not a problem, better too much than too little. 3. Top up the fuel with the correct fuel ti 2-stroke mix. I'd suggest you, or your friend use the instructions to disassemble the chain, guards & filters, to do a proper clean on this machine, to help it give you more years of service. Best of luck

I rebuilt my 044 Stihl put on full choke and it hit so I moved to half choke and it has never hit again

Elaborate, "rebuilt"?

Check if flooded. Remove sparkplug and give the the recoil start several pulls to clear cylinder. If plug is wet, dry with compressed air or spray off with starter fluid.

Reinstall plug and try starting without choke.

I have a brand new STIHL TS420 that refuses to start. Litterally just bought it yesterday from ACME tools. It started right up for them but refuses to for me. Am I doing something wrong? 2.5 gal of 87 octane (NO ETHNOL) gas 6.4oz STIHL HP Ultra oil I full choke, prime 7 to 10 pumps Lock trigger in start position I receive no ignition at all. Is MotoMix the only fuel this damn thing will run on?

There is no absolute requirement to use Stihl fuel though they claim better results, something lots of users agree with. I suggest you read the manual again to ensure you have exactly followed the instructions. If you did and it won't work there is cause to return it to the dealer. While an older machine often needs fiddling with a new machine should not. One thought - if the dealer's demonstration was very short so the machine did not warm up thoroughly, it is possible that fouled the spark plug and that would serve to make restarting difficult. It would be wise to check the plug and ensure the spark is ok...
