Piston looks perfect, no scorch marks all you see is the silver of it.

Not being funny but I suggested that you look at the plug and see if it is "Wet" with fuel. Whilst you are at it, with the plug out, turn the saw upside down and pull the saw over hard and let us know if any fuel/vapour/splatters come out. Do this a few times if it does, leave theplug out overnight and try to start it in the morning.

 

If the plug is dry, it is possible that the metering arm is a little too low and needs to be raised slightly so the diaphragm can pull a bit of fuel through.

 

Can we stretch this out another week......Oh yeah:001_rolleyes:

[Harry_L]

Ok I'll try that thanks.

 

And you only want to stretch it for another week?? I was thinking another month or two!! [emoji23]

Well, bloody hurrah, you have a carb problem. If you feel like it - remove the carb, remove the metal cover on one end of the carb, the one with four screws and remove the diaphragm and tweak the metering arm up a little then reassemble and try again.

[Harry_L]

Thanks i will try that tomorrow morning then let you know!

Should no be this much issues on a almost new saw. Keep pulling and pulling till it will start. Pull with full throttle 30 times, without full throttle 30 times. Keep doing it.
