Stihl 025 cuts off

[Mitymelvin]

Has anyone else had an issue with the saw cutting off if cutting with the saw tilted on the right side( bar closest to the ground)? My saw started this a month or so ago. I took it to the Stihl dealer for repair and they changed the carburetor. I took it out to cut yesterday and it did the same thing. It acts like it’s starving for fuel but it has plenty. I replaced the fuel filter, air filter and spark plug just before I took it to the shop.

Could be fuel related- but perhaps more likely an air leak.
Could be in fuel lines intake side of the system, which only open and become a problem when the saw is used in that attitude, or it could be a crankcase leak around bearing caps or a loose bottom pan.
Take it back to the shop- you took it in with a complaint and it sounds like they failed to identify it- but I bet they charged you for it!
Hope you got your old carb back as well.

I didn’t collect any old parts but that’s ok. I’ll go back and insist they refund what they did or repair it for free, whatever they want to do. I was told by someone else that it could be an air leak that only presents itself when I turn the saw on its side. I be think a lot of the issues were the lack of documentation when I dropped it off.
