This is a 10 year-old saw that"s never been in the shop. It ran fine on Tuesday, and on Wednesday with the same tank of fuel, it would start with full choke, but then die when I opened the choke up. It has never needed choking after warming up, but now it seems to be starving for fuel. The air intake screen is clean as well as the fuel intake screen. I noticed that there is a black fuel line routed below the carb that looks like it is weather cracked. Does Stihl sell a kit to replace the fuel lines? The one on my saw is ribbed to make a sharp bend to attach to the carb.

| sounds like the fuel pickup line in the tank. While you're at it, check/change the filter on the end.
Have fun if you got stubby fingers :roll:

| Either go to a dealer or on ebay. You can buy the gas line, it will likely cost $10-15.

| Your fuel line is bad. Mine did the same thing and was told that the gas eats up the fuel line then it collapes when you try to use it. Mine just about fell apart when it was taken out

| not really a kit but individual lines are available. Problem is obviously in the fuel system. If the muffler screen were clogged it wouldn't run at all. Check to see if the carb is loose, maybe leaking air past the carb gasket.
