I havnt started it for a year??

[Mozza]

Hi, I have a Husqvarna 365 which was running perfectly, I changed jobs and no longer had to provide my own gear so my saw got made redundant, I drained it of all petrol and put it in the garage, Now i know i should of started it regularly but i havnt, so my question is this...

 

Is there anythin i should do to it before i try and start it after a year of it not running???

 

Thanks

Saw was only 12 months old when i stopped using it guys, Ill take my chances and try and start it this week at some point

Just fresh juice Mozza and if it doesn't start you may have to take some covers off the carb to free the butterfly flaps which are there to allow fuel to pass one way only.

 

If it doesn't start get a stihl because they start after a year in storage

It'll start with fresh fuel. Maybe a squirt of wd40 over the ignition parts if you think it's got damp in storage. If you do struggle, try dripping a little fuel directly into the carburettor, just to get it to fire. Shouldn't need it if the saw is only 12 months old

Few drops of diesel down the plug hole...

It should fire right up if you ran it dry before you stored it . Prime the carb and give it a tug,should be good to go .

It's the pull cord you tug Mozza
