STIHL recommends replacing the spark plugs around every 100 hours of use. It`s a good idea to get in the habit of checking the condition of your spark plug after every 10 to 15 hours of use. If the engine is running well, the outside electrode should have light brown deposits.
It`s some of the easiest car maintenance you can do — but do not screw it up. Checking, replacing and maintaining your spark plugs is actually one of the easier and most affordable car-maintenance jobs you can do in the comfort of your own driveway — that is, if you don`t screw it up.
A good spark will be blue-white and will be plainly visible in daylight. If a good spark is present, the problem is probably not in the ignition system. Check the fuel system and/or stark timing. Weak sparks are orange or red and may be hard to see in daylight.
Crank the Ignition and Inspect for Spark Have someone turn the ignition so that you can inspect the plug. Make sure the spark is strong and blue in color. If the spark is weak and dull orange, it`s likely that it`s not strong enough to ignite the engine`s air and fuel mixture.
The most apparent symptom of bad spark plugs is that your car just seems not quite normal. It may start slowly with lower gas mileage but could progress all the way to a lack of acceleration. Fouled spark plugs or spark plug misfires can also lead to difficulty starting your engine, a rough idle, and loss of power.
Blisters on the insulator tip, melted electrodes, or white deposits are signs of a burned spark plug that is running too hot. Causes can include the engine overheating, incorrect spark plug heat range, a loose spark plug, incorrect ignition timing or too lean of an air/fuel mixture. The spark plug should be replaced.
A good spark will be blue-white and will be plainly visible in daylight. If a good spark is present, the problem is probably not in the ignition system. Check the fuel system and/or stark timing. Weak sparks are orange or red and may be hard to see in daylight.
Spark plugs are a key part of maintaining a petrol power tool, especially STIHL chainsaws, and you may think that one spark plug is much the same as another. A standard NGK spark plug and NGK spark plugs sold by STIHL may have the same part number stamped on them, but the STIHL NGK spark plug has some key differences.

Saw has new vent wont run after hot unless i loosen cap
ANSWER : The vent is not working properly or was installed incorrectly, so there is no negative air entering the tank to take up the space of the fuel leaving it for the combustion chamber. Perhaps your tank cap has a vent as well that isn’t working.
