I have a Stihl FS74 that had a bad primer bulb. Just got around to replacing it after it sat for a couple years. It had no gas in it during that time. It starts right up but after idling for a bit it just stalls suddenly. The more times I start it, the quicker it stalls. After 3-5 starts it stalls right after starting. I don't throttle it up at all. Just want to see if it will keep running at idle. Is this normal or should I be looking into it further. I was able to use it some, but when I let it go back to idle it stalled right away. Not familiar with these...sort of testing the waters. Appreciate any guidance.
