Ms150...won't start any ideas, much appreciated

[Gardenmac]

Hi Guys, my Ms150 has been a real beaut normally starting first time everytime. Today however it fired on choke then wouldn't start. The last job included using it to sned through some branches with moss and some earth being pulled up through the wood.

Any one got any ideas what I need to tweak to get the beaut starting again.

Any help would be very gratefully received as I need to use it Monday.

I have not herd of any problems or had any problems with my 150. Have you checked the basics, cleaned out air filter, changed the spark plug and give it a good clean around the clutch ( I find it can get clogged up).

Thanks David, just stripping it down to see if I can get to the problem.

Phew, thanks again David. Whilst stripping it down to clean saw debris and to clean plug found a nasty piece of thin wire and some bail twine wrapped tight in behind the sprocket. Plug needs a real good clean too, but now the beaut is back n up n running. Yeah!

I didn't think there would be to much wrong with it. Very good saw. Keep up the good work : )
