Hi! I hate to just jump in and my first post is a plea for help. Please forgive me. I have a Stihl 420 Magnum Backpack Blower and I'm trying to get it running again, my son's no longer around to rake. It will turn over and tries to run, but it doesn't quite get there.
Today I removed the carb and soaked it for two hours in Berryman's Dip, you know the 1 gallon can. The air filter looked new and the spark plug looked pretty close to new.
The fuel lines are still flexible and don't appear to be damaged. If there is a little fuel filter in the tank, I didn't check it...
I did put fresh gas/oil mixture in it.
I set the kill switch to the up position (I).
If I set the throttle to wide open and fiddle around with the choke it will crank and run for a second and then die.
Ideas?
Thanks for the help ahead of time.
