I have a Stihl TS460 cut-off saw and it is very difficult to start once it starts it works perfect. I did replace the spark NO Change, If I pour a bit of gas in the spark plug hole it will start in 4 or 5 pulls. Next I removed and cleaned the carburator and installed a new carb kit. No change. The compression is 90 with the decompression plug pushed in. Any thoughts. Thanks

Update: I did take the compression with the decompression valve out and it was 125 this is like new. I also removed and cleaned the ignition coil. Buttom line no change. I am stumped. If money was no object I would buy a new carb. if that did not work then a new ignition coil if that did not work. I have a nice big hammer.


have u adjusted the carb yet??
