problems with starting

Also make sure the ignition is grounded.

 

I has a TS400 catch fire doing this, never thought petrol vapour and spark would be so dramatic.:biggrin:

 

Managed to blow it out, but got the heart going, could have been more of a problem if spilt fuel was about, or starting in kitchen, with spilt fuel on floor.

 

H-A

 

Done similar testing a saw for spark, a good way to take the hairs off your arms and cheaper than waxing:blushing::lol:

 

Makes men - men does that:thumbup:

I started up my new 365 for the first time yesterday and was faced with a very similar problem, the saw flooded badly and just wouldn't start, the decomp valve also stayed in it's "in" position. I guess that I just won't bother with the decomp valve for a while then. Once it started up though, wow! What a saw!

Tbh I never bother with a decomp until the saw is 80+cc, tbh the only reason I use them is because I'm tight and hate fitting new starter parts

In fairness, it should go back to Arb and Forestry.

 

They should have PDI'd that saw before they despatched it (and probably did). They took the profit, they should be responsible for any remedial work.

 

The local dealer, would have PDI'd it AND handed it over to you with full instruction and demonstration of starting procedure etc. You may have paid a bit more, but look how much trouble you could have saved yourself.

 

Its not really fair to expect your local dealer who has not made anything on the sale to put this saw right.

 

I agree!! Internet sales are great until something goes wrong! It really winds me up when people buy cheap elsewhere and when there's a problem they want me to sort it out!

The 365 is a really good reliable saw, I recommend it all the time and have never known anyone be disappointed!

Aah, the whole house reeks of petrol but Chas/Henry, our young mate, seems to know what he is doing, waffling on about the 'oiler' whilst I am busying myself making tea.

 

One has to wonder at the rational of starting or trying to start outdoor machinery indoors. Especially one that has leaked fuel.

Noooo, stop it - the bloody saw was started outside (once.....and it never went into idling along - had to keep giving it constant throttle). Chas and Reubs just took it in to have a good look at it in the kitchen.....and there was fuel coming out, everywhere. I repeat, this is not just because we flooded the engine - I do that all the time with one of the mowers - there is something broken. Am waiting, right now, to speak to the guy who passed it at A&F.
