Stihl 026 Issues

That's probably okay; with the way my next several weekends look there's no fear of me being able to use a saw anytime soon.

 

Maybe this is your problem and not the carb , but also if you need 10 times pull to start for sure you have leaks

 

Thanks for the video. No that's not what it sounds like, and it definitely won't start that easy. The air filter is also less than a year old.

I'm off work tomorrow and plan on digging into the 026. From research I've done I think I have bad crank seals, but will pressure and vac test first.

More to come tomorrow.

Thanks for all of your help.

 

Are you 100% sure that they did replace the carb ?

 

Yes. It was the first thing I checked when I got home.
