Engine Running Behavior

If engine running behavior is still
unsatisfactory after servicing the air filter
and adjusting the throttle cable, the
cause may be the muffler.
Have the muffler checked by a servicing
dealer for contamination
(carbonization).
STIHL recommends that you have
servicing and repair work carried out
exclusively by an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer.
