Engine Running Behavior
If engine running behavior is
unsatisfactory even though the air filter
is clean and the carburetor properly
adjusted, the cause may be in the
muffler.
:
Have the muffler checked for
contamination (coking).
STIHL recommends that all
maintenance and repair work be carried
out by an authorized STIHL dealer.
