346xp Doesn't like Diesel

[Luckyeleven]

Farmer Joe next door filled his husqvarna up yesterday with diesel, it 'ran for a few minutes and then wouldn't start again'

I've had the carb off and cleaned it all, blown all the fuel lines out, spark plug tested.

Fuel is entering the chamber and being vapourised, but it still wont cough.

Any suggestions?

Might still have diesel in the spark plug shorting it out.

Tell him it's knackered and keep it for your self. 

Have you flushed cylinder with neat petrol to get rid of all diesel.

You are probably getting diesel on the spark plug.

Take the plug out, turn the saw upside down, pull it over hard a few times to clear any flooding. 

Prime the carb, assuming it is the NE silverside version.

Heat the plug up hot with a plumbers lamp, fit it, hold the saws throttle open and pull the saw over fast with no decomp, it should fire after a few pulls.

Obviously this is a bit dangerous but it is often the only way of sparking up a machine that has had this happen.

Expect clouds of kerosene flavoured white smoke once it gets going!

Hold the rear handle very firmly whilst doing this!!

Just take him outside and do this.
