Bad Ethanol gas and lack of stabilizer (left unused for long time) ?
I have few Stihls and they are nice little engines. But I only run Shell premium (the only ethanol free gas in my area) always stabilized. I have been using some of them for 6 years at least , not draining the gas and never had issues so far. They start like new.
I had a float valve failure on one of my little hondas that I run the same gas through and when I opened the carb it was clean as new.
