    Stihl 088 carb problem

    You should be able to close the needles and run it dry, then gradually open them until it runs right without flooding, though if it has a bypass jet, then that may not help. I had a wood splitter do similar things. You had to be careful not to use too much choke or too many pulls with full choke...

    It almost sounded a little lean at idle to me.

    Stihl 088 carb problem

    Have you tried screwing both needles in all the way and starting, then retune from there? I had a saw recently that was dumping fuel into the carb after running lean of all things. 5 minutes later on the bench and it had the intake tract overflowing out the carb. I had to go dump it all out.

    Stihl 088 carb problem

    Does it make a pulsing sound too after you let off the throttle? We have saw like that. I keep forgetting to richen it. It doesn't kick, but can be hard to start and keep going at times as it leans out and dies at idle.
