You can also use a hammer and a punch to knock it loose. There are square indentations between each clutch spring to put the punch.

What model of carburetor do you have on that 4010? The only carb. Echo shows on their parts look up it is made by them and is a GC-03-1. But the jets and caps look different from yours. Please let me know, this is bugging me, lol.

Not yet, I messaged a friend of mine who is an Echo dealer, and I am still waiting to hear back.

I believe that ring you see around both screws is spring loaded and takes a special tool. I will look when I get out in my shop and see if I can find the info or tool. The tool I thought would work is for the 4510 which is different from the 4010. I spent over an hour looking for info on the...

Is the new carb an OEM or aftermarket? Watch this video, it may help.

I know this is going to sound too simple, but you said it is getting fuel. Could the needle in the carb be staying open and flooding the engine? Have you tried clearing the cylinder and holding the throttle wide open when cranking? Just a thought.

Look at page 32.

Someone replaced the starter rope at some point, and it was not Stihl rope. They may not have put the spring back into the handle. That looks like a hardware store rope.

Wiha makes excellent tools, they have been around for years. I have a lot of Wiha Torx T-handles and Torx bits.

Local Stihl Dealer. I just looked them up at our local dealer.

Something else to check, pull the carb off and work the throttle, watch the throttle plate. Sometimes, not often the screw that holds the plate in place comes loose and the plate gets cocked at an angle and won't let the throttle plate close down all the way.

Try putting a new fuel line in it and fresh gas and your problem will likely disappear.

You need to let people know what this plug is being used in.

Pull the muffler and look at the piston before you go any further.
