Any chance that you are using old fuel? Our local stihl guy says max 8 week old fuel. If in doubt, I'd put in a new spark plug (just clean the one you've got if it's not old, and make sure you didn't drop it and screw up the gap) and at least clean the air filter. Empty the fuel that is in it and put in fresh (you don't have a primer bubble?). Try setting it on the floor and put your foot in the handle and hold the loop handle with one hand while starting it with the other. Full choke and full quick pull. As soon as it even hints at a spark (usually by the second pull) go to half choke and it should start right up. You shouldn't touch the gas trigger until it is started. Otherwise, you'll flood it and wear yourself and three of your buddies out trying to start it. Sounds like that may be part of your problem because, by the time you took it to someone else, it started right up. If that doesn't help and you have a stihl dealer handy (or any good service shop)they'll take care of you. There's no shame in starting a saw on the ground. Good Luck

I have whirlpool cabrio having same issue unbalance on spin cycle. 1st i replaced suspension rods.....still unbalanced. 2nd change out bearings and shaft....still unbalanced. 3rd changed out motor stator.....still unbalanced. 4th changed out sensor.....still unbalanced. Did some research,and what i found is some washers will have a counter balance ring located on top of basket. It is filled about half way with liquid and factory seal. Some have a removable counter balance ring and some models are permanently attached to stainless steel tub. Our model has the permanently attached ring. and has liquid in it. The bottom part of the basket is another plastic molded ring, and has water in it. I understood the the water in the top ring ,but didn't understand water in the bottom ring. I did some research and found that many different manufacturers of washing machines only had a counter balance ring located on the top of washer and done on bottom........was there suppose to be water in the bottom ??? Did more researching and found a video that i guy, like myself with the same issues and changed out the same parts and still had unbalance issues. He had water in the bottom plastic ,and he drilled where the two mold plugs were and drain out water and reseal holes.........no more issues! So I said what do I have to lose,and did the same thing......RESULTS NO UNBALANCE!

I cannot do an exchange or I would have by now. I purchased the pair (brand new) through the Whirlpool Every Home Partners. This means I get a discount, usually about 30% of retail (I got the Cabrio w & d for 1100 including delivery). However, they do not do exchanges. I called them about their lemon exchange policy, asked them how much it takes, and the lady made it sound impossible. So, for now, I am just going to keep nagging them until it's right. The repairman said the pump and the circuit board went on the washer. Thanks for the thoughts on the hose, but I checked and it was fine. He is coming to repair both today, let's see if he tries to talk me into believing that noise is normal (on the dryer). Thanks for the responses!

To address the possible root cause of improper air supply, today I removed the pipe from the furnace to the chimney to see if there was any blockage. There was a small pile of soot on the back of the furnace and on the entrance to the chimney. I don't think enough to cause the safety to trip. In the chimney however there was a lot of soot at the base of the chimney. I took out about a foot of soot in the bottom and there could be more but the hose on my little shop vac wouldn't reach further. I'm assuming that is not supposed to be there, is that correct? Could this building soot create an improper draft that would pop the safety reset? As for the motor, you are right, there is only one that matches the specs of the one I currently have - Grainger Item # 4MA12. If this model is installed does that mean I no longer need a stack controller? http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/oil-burner-motors/hvac-motors/motors/ecatalog/N-9y9Z1z0nw85
