I have a Stihl 461 that is impossible to start! I have replaced the spark plug. I have spark. I have cleaned carb and so far as that I have gas....but my spark plug is never wet. I even took it apart all the way down to the Impulse hose. Still nothing!

Check the
screen on the muffler
as it very well may be clogged with carbon.
When clogged, it won't allow air to flow thru the engine... A common issue with Stihl's..
A wire brush with carb cleaner will work well...
