Stihl ms180 won’t start up at all, doesn’t even pretend to start … I’ve tried all the obvious stuff
- has good spark and fully cleaned spark plug
- has good compression measured at around 165psi
- piston looks great, no scoring of any kind
- totally cleaned the carb. Tried with brand new carburetor just to be sure…
- brand new 50:1 stihl mix gas in the tank
- fuel line looks fine and is feeding gas, carb is soaked after attempting to start from full choke position.
I am stumped and hoping someone may have an idea of what else to try before I just buy a new saw…
