problems with starting

[Stubby]

Or the first firing has been missed, done that a few times! A trick to getting a flooded engine started (but not safely) is to pull it over on full throttle, knock the brake off, put it on a surface about waist height and yank the cord like buggery, a small saw can just be held, but a big saw like that needs a surface to rest on.

Yea I thought that but kinda thought that getting some one to hold the gas wide open whilst another pull the crap out of it could be slightly dodgy if you are not used to that " procedure "

arguably a bit safer...

Saw on the ground putting your weight through your left knee which is pressing down on the cylinder cover of the saw...using your left hand hold the back handle and operate the trigger and use the agreed method of pulling like buggery lol

Works for me. Not that i everrrrr flood a saw!

😄😄😄

Just turn everything off pull cord 10time and start it as a hot saw👍

I pull the saw over with the plug out and warm the plug with a blow lamp then stick it back in and start it up on the fast idle setting.

It's those 2 ways in a garden type environment, but I'm usually in the woods when it happens to me no flat surfaces then, have to swing a big saw

Nah - its going back - there is fuel coming out everywhere(even bubbling out of decompression switch), and its not clean either. Think that either some necessary grommet is missing or there is a crack somewhere. Complete disaster (obvs, we tried the throttle business cos I had a really crappy old McCulloch which I had to hold the throttle on while starting)....and it was just about doable with the husky. Outside the house looks like a garage forecourt.....but at least we are not exposed as total amateurs (much).

Will ring Andy at A&F tomorrow. Have my work cut out persuading Mr Camps to stick with same model but it was a dispiriting experience all round.

Shame.

The 365 is a great saw, stick with it.
