I have a Stihl MS250, bought it 2 years ago, has maybe 10 hours of run time on it. I only run tru-fuel in it, never run the bar dry, and I cannot for the life of me keep this damn saw working

If I run it for more then 2 hours during a day and put it away, there is a 99% chance it won't start again without ripping the entire thing apart. Every Single Time. If I start it back up within an hour or 2 it will be fine... more then that and its guaranteed to be dead again

Has gone back to the dealer 3 times already, each time they flush it all out, it starts back up and runs fine for another 2 - 3 hours and then its dead again. Have bought fuel there had them fill it with everything, I verified start in front of them so I'm sure i'm doing it right... go home, cut for a few hours, put it away, next day its not going to start

I run it at least once every 2 - 3 months just to keep it running (not cutting anything), I always use tru-fuel that has been tightly sealed, I always fill the bar oil every time and I cannot get this damn saw to be reliable

what am I doing wrong here, I don't get it and I don't have time to keep spending every day fixing a damn saw instead of doing what I need it to do

This is honestly just silly... I upgraded from a Ketch to a Brig and have the same storage capacity? come on... how does the storage variant of a ship vastly larger have LESS storage than a smaller ship? how does this make sense?

Stock
Ketch - 28... Brig 24?

Brethren

Ketch - 36... Brig 32

Blackbeard?

Ketch - 20.. Brig 16

how does this make sense
