iweb Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 My Stihl 038 AV would not start so I pulled the carb and cleaned it real good, still no go so I pulled off the fuel line and tried to blow air thru it, was plugged so I used carb cleaner and wire and got it free. It will kinda start if I shoot carb cleaner or staring fluid in the carb but then bogs out and dies. Musta pulled that sucker a bazillion times and still the same. Now what? Need to get her running so I can cut down some more trees at the mobile that has the freaking water faucet problems. Quote
