Husky 365 won't start

[Treemon]

Recently replaced the pot , piston and carb but it won't fire . Got a spark loads of compression but refuses to start

[Riggerbear]

Is the plug getting wet (smelling of petrol) ?

[Treemon]

Yes , set the carb to 1 turn out on low and high

Combustion needs fuel, compression and spark. Test the spark by taking it out, placing it in the cap, earthing it on the cylinder away from the plug hole and pulling the saw over fast.

 

Check the plug is wet after trying to start it.

 

If it is wet, chances are you have flooded it.

 

Take he plug out, turn the saw upside down so the plug hole is pointing downward and pull over the saw fast a few times - if flooded, you should get fuel running/spattering out.

 

Dry the plug - a gas hob is good or plumbers lamp, replace the plug and pull it over fast with no choke and the fast idle on but no decomp. If it doesn't fire, try it with the choke on but only 2-3 pulls on full choke!

 

Report back with what you find:thumbup:

If you have a spark, and fuel on the plug, and it still wont fire, you need to check the flywheel key has not sheared knocking the timing out.

Is it running yet ? Is the piston the right way round ?
