I have a Stihl saw that hasn't been run for a while, when I tried to start it, it ran for a second or two then died, it had soaked the sparkplug with gas, I blew out the cylinder and cleaned the plug, it has good spark but every time I try to start it, it soaks the plug,Why would it do this? any ideas? thanks, Chris

I have taken the muffler off, cleaned the carb, made sure the needle valve isn't stuck, new plug. anything else I could do? I am going to put in diferent gas, this is fresh but maby the mix is too rich or something, then I will try another new plug. Hopefully it will work.

If it has not run for a spell, check the intake air filter side and exhaust for a mud dauber nest.
If this is not the problem, carb may be gummed up and needs a cleaning.

More than likely the needle valve operated by the diaphragm has stuck open.

I agree that the needle is probably stuck. But you should also replace the plug. I found that depending on how long it sits, the plug sometimes gets a "varnish" on it, which won't allow for as good a spark over a new plug. Good Luck
