I am a proper chainsaw starting star.

[difflock]

Subbies in on a job, with a new to me Stihl chainsaw.

They could not get it started, I smelt the Petrol, and concluded it was flooded, as I set it to run and started pulling it, the guy says "its sommat to do with the on-off switch" indicating the knob that rotates thro 90 deg to secure the air filter housing.

Doh!

After explaining the true purpose of this knob:001_rolleyes:, and the actual control settings, finally I got her started.

I do suppose youse have all heard about the new "wind-up clockwork chainsaw":lol:

Bloody knackered by the time I got the wee skitter started mind.

might as well o bin clockwork.

PS

No spark plug removing tool present.

First time i picked up a chainsaw the boss told me to prime it 1st....spent 10mins trying to find the primer bubble....then clicked my chain was being pulled

[biggarlogs]

My old Dynamac was always a bit reluctant when it had been stood a few months but it always seemed to start better after a vigorous shake, unless it was just me that felt more vigorous.

That is a famous John Wayne quote, the other one being from Mad Max 1!

I just had a thought, and I will go out on Sunday and make it to reality. Make it so I can add my cordless screw driver to start my chainsaw.
