What to do if my Stihl MS 881 Chainsaw won't start?
If your Stihl Chainsaw engine won't start, here are a few things to check: * Make sure there's enough fuel in the tank. If it's low, mix fuel and refuel the chainsaw. * The engine might be flooded, so clear the combustion chamber. * The carburetor could be too hot; in that case, allow the chainsaw to cool down. * If the carburetor is iced up, allow the saw to warm up to +10°C.
Why is my Stihl MS 881 smoking or smelling like burning?
If you notice smoke or a burning smell while cutting with your Stihl Chainsaw, several factors could be the cause. It might be that the chain isn't properly sharpened, so ensure the chain is correctly sharpened. Other possible causes include: insufficient chain oil in the tank, so fill up with chain oil; the chain lubrication system is supplying insufficient chain oil, so increase the oil feed rate; the chain is over-tensioned, so tension the chain properly; or the chainsaw is not being used properly, so have correct use explained, then practice.
Why won't the chain on my Stihl MS 881 Chainsaw rotate when I open the throttle?
If the saw chain on your Stihl Chainsaw doesn't rotate when you open the throttle, it could be due to a few reasons: the chain brake might be engaged, so disengage the chain brake; the chain might be over-tensioned, so tension the chain properly; or the bar nose sprocket could be blocked, so clean the bar nose sprocket with STIHL resin solvent.
Why does my Stihl MS 881 have poor acceleration?
If your Stihl Chainsaw has poor acceleration, it might be because the chain is over-tensioned, so tension the chain properly. Another possible cause is that the chain lubrication system is supplying insufficient chain oil, so increase the oil feed rate.
