a mystery starting problem!!!!

[robbo 110]

This may be a dumb question, but if it starts within 3 pulls cold and 1 pull warm.... What is the starting problem?

 

it normally starts fine, runs fine, a while back the saw stalled when a limb pinched the chain, it would not re-start whilst hot or cold after that, i eventually started it by spraying a small amount of carb-cleaner directly through the plug hole, when it first fired it was very 'choked up' but cleared after a few revs,

the saw has run very well since that incident ,, probably worked it hard for 3-4 days of logging until...

the saw was left overnight on its side, wouldnt fire & kept flooding, same as before, again after getting it going with carb cleaner it's been fine since??? i hope this makes sense magnus, the problem is very intermittant so finding it will not be easy!!

with regards to buying a new saw, i will when this one is worn out, & parts are no longer available!!!!!!!!!

If nothing happens... It will be yours for ever. To wear these out takes persistence.

 

This internet diagnostic's is never easy........

 

If it flood without pulling/running main inlet needle has to open.

 

Is the spring and lever correct and ok lifting the needle?

Is it really tight? No markings or dameges to tip?

What settings are the needles at?
