husq 288 cant shut her down

replaced on/off switch but saw wont die........?

[testcricket01]

did you replace the wires connecting to the on/off switch aswell?

[spudulike]

The switch should just connect the coil connection to earth, either the cable is damaged/broken, the new switch is faulty or it isnt connected to earth - meter it out with an ohm meter:thumbup:

In the meantime, flicking to choke position is very effective....

Magnum is doing nicely thanks - it got a quick run at about 8pm today for trimming snags off the next log - 026 would have done, but not such a good noise - the neighbours prefer the bigger saws!

 

It's the 076 that gets choked to stop it - had to strip it down when it ate the starter cord and upset something in the wiring. Since it has a convenient choke button next to the start/stop button it hasn't been a priority to take it apart again - too busy milling!
