This condition is deemed to be normal for any chainsaw with a similar bar & chain lubricating system. These factors give the oil a very thick consistency, which in turn explains a slower flow rate. The fact that it appears to be continuing to seep after the unit is cut off for several days is owed to the viscosity of the oil and the anti-flinging compound (lithium) mixed with the oil at the refinery. As a general rule of physics, the oil will be pulled down by gravity once the chain stops turning, collecting at the bottom of the bar and seeping through the chain to puddle underneath the bar & chain assembly as well as under the drive sprocket. The amount of oil being circulated inside the bar at any given time can be between. The way our units lubricate a chain, most of the oil is distributed around the inside of the bar rails as it is circulated by the oil reservoirs in each drive link of the chain. Moving the lever to the next setting, the half choke or part throttle position will allow more air into the combustion chamber and help resolve the flooding condition. The operator should move the Master Control Lever™ or choke lever from the full choke setting after three to four pulls even if the engine does not fire. Pulling the rope more than two to three times in this setting may flood the engine. A good rule of thumb to follow is to remember that when placing the switch control to the full choke setting, more liquid fuel and less air flow into the combustion chamber in order to create a higher chance for ignition. The manual provides the proper instruction for starting procedures, but there are many conditions that may affect how the unit starts. When starting a unit, make sure to follow the starting instructions in your instruction manual. The most common reason is due to too many attempts trying to start the machine in the choke position.

In 2001 Stihl changed how there model numbers read.

It just says pro on the engine cover and the stickers on the shaft are pretty much gone. The chainsaws were pretty easy to identify, but I can not find any model number on the string trimmer.

I bought a lot of stihl tools at auction from a local government.

First, make sure that you are using fresh fuel mix (never store or use fuel mix older than 60 days in can or fuel tank).
