Saw wont restart

[Cliff]

Hi,

My Husqy always starts from cold very well, however if I stop it after use it doesnt seem to want to start again.

Any ideas please?

Husky’s seem to have a prob when hot and starting, I think it’s down to the heat getting to the carb and vapourising the fuel. 

That said I’ve read some are a bit more prone to it than others.

 

one other thing I’ve seen before, where it was the spark plug (not a husky). When Cold it would start and run fine. Switch it off and a few mins later, it would not start until it had cooled enough.

this prob was cured by changing the spark plug,, I guess while running the flywheel cooled the cylinder and plug. But when it was stopped the heat must have changed the resistance of the plug enough for it to not spark under compression, I say this because if you took it out it sparked ok.

 

i'm sure someone else will post more info of what other things it could be.

Which model is it? Do you but it onto part throttle (put choke on then straight off again) before trying to restart it?

 

Im assuming the saw runs well, has plenty of power and isnt down on compression.

Almost impossible to answer not knowing the model type as AT machines are completely different from older conventional ones. 

Starting from hot issues can be caused by low compression through piston wear or having nipped up.

Mine's only a 135 but a couple of pumps on the primer bulb usually sorts it, same after it has been refuelled. As above, it's all guesswork if the model is not known.
