..with a bit of gas when I fuel up the saw and fire it up.  It is worse when it is warm.  Fuel mix sprays out on my right hand and wrist,  right side of trigger bottom.  Saw runs a bit funky under load and stumbles under initial acceleration but cuts okay.  Fuel mix is the Stihl canned premix.   I assume it is blowing out from an air vent for the fuel system when it is full as it usually stops after a bit.  EZ start MS250 16 inch,  a couple years old worked fairly regular on  spring/fall firewood.      What say the knowledgeable Stihl saw guys beyond no cigar smoking.  :-\

Check your fuel line - it can be cracked, or just loose in it's hole.
