Seems so. Did not make any sense to do some work on the saw.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves!

Try cleaning out the fuel system first, cleaning the air filter, and make sure it is running with fresh fuel, and the right amount of oil.

It's a stihl. I use alot of stihl equipment and the saws can be finicky. Sometimes I just let them run on the ground til I need to cut more
