The carb needed cleaned and the coil was covered with oil and sawdust. #smallenginerepair #stihl #chainsaw

Thanks for this vid! I have a MS210 which is running great now, after this fix!

Finally 😊😊 I’m still gonna order two new carbs but it’s nice to know I can clean them

Same happening here. I cleaned the coil and it looked as grimy as this one. I took the car boss and cleaned it didn't get a solution. So I ordered a carb off Amazon, we're going to see what happens. Thanks for the relevant video, much love

Hey man thx for the video. I have a 210c and I couldn't figure out why the hell it wouldn't run at full throttle, it was doing the same thing yours was. I took and did a full tune-up on it and then I tuned it and it still ran like s***. Later today I'm going to pull my carb off completely clean it and take a look at that coil. I've already roughly clean the car but I didn't take it apart due to the fact that I'm a mechanic on large engines, four strokes not two strokes and this is a learning experience for me. Thanks again and you did a good job making the video

I've had mine for quite a few years, never had a problem other than little too much oil in gas at times made it smoke a little so I just recently got a can of stihl gas land realized I can't afford that stuff, so I just put a couple drops of oil in a tank of good gas and with a new chain it runs like a sewing machine, great saw , you can't beat it.

Dude, Although you have some abilities to work on your saw engine, you should know more about what you talking about when you explain things. Point in case: When your describing the ignition coil and all the gunk on the coil and you state the "contacts" were not making good connection ?, and you "sanded" the flywheel and the coil?. You said the "magnets" were on the coil? No... The magnets are part of the flywheel. what you pointed at on the coil and said they were magnets was actually the "E" coil. Then the magnet passes by the E coil a voltage is induced and ultimately created the spark. Also, the gunk really doesn't have much of anything to do with the magnetic transfer of energy. It won't short anything out and there is NO actual electrical connection between the magnet and coil. The most common problem with a coil is that the ground screw may be loose or corroded and not making a good connection. I do agree, it's nice to have everything nice and clean in the ignition coil area.
