?Well that didn't go well

 

Saw arrived on Friday, fired it up on arrival and gave it a good rev for circa 20 seconds, all good, if a little lumpy compared to my husky, then shut it down and left it till Sunday, when luck would have it, a branch came down over a path, and a good chance for my new toy. 

 

For love nor money, I couldn't start it, Id read the manual on Friday, knew exactly what i should do, it just wouldn't even cough, had to go back and use the husky. 

 

Tried again today, dead as a dodo, emailed radmore and awaiting a response, I'm half tempted to chop it for a husky 365 now, thoughts?

Never had any issues starting a DCS7901/EA7900. I've had three over the years. Very odd.

I've never had any problems starting any of my Makita / dolmar saws. Something strange there I think.

Yea . There is something wrong with it .

I can commiserate, I flooded my 461 the first time I took it out and had to carry on with old saw. I have since concluded that bigger saws need a lot less choke in general.

I also got a tip for unflooding which has worked for me. Push the choke to off and hold the throttle full on, pull over the starter and this pumps fresh air through the engine and flushes out the excess fuel, it will eventually cough like a normal start. Then release throttle to normal fast idle start and pull again.
