  If you're finding that your Stihl Water Pump engine is hard to start or its power is decreasing, consider these possibilities: There might be water in the fuel tank or the carburetor may be blocked; in this case, empty the fuel tank and clean the fuel line and carburettor. Ensure the fuel tank isn't contaminated and that you're using the correct fuel. A dirty spark plug could also be the culprit, so clean or replace it. Lastly, check the air filter and clean or replace it if it's dirty.

  If your Stihl Water Pump isn't pumping water, here's what you should check: Start by cleaning the suction strainer and hoses, as they might be clogged. Make sure there's enough water available and that the pump is connected to a water source and filled with water. Ensure you're not exceeding the maximum delivery head or suction head. Also, check that the suction hose isn't collapsed or leaking, and that it's properly connected; use an inherently stable suction hose to prevent collapse.
