[case mx270]

What's the correct method to start a 357 ? Also what's the blue button on the side of the engine ? The reason I ask is I cant start it . I had it going a couple of weeks ago but now nothing . I ve put fresh fuel in it .

Red is on/off, (down for off) the blue is choke, (out for choke)

 

A blue press in on the side is a de compression button, in for decomp out if you are a man

 

From cold, choke then pull till it "coughes" then choke in and pull some more

You say fresh fuel is it mixed with 2 stroke,

It's flooded

 

So what do I do , what should I check

Take the plug out . Turn saw upside down . Pull over several times to expel excess fuel . Dry plug . Wait a bit with plug out . Start over again .

Alternatively drop a match down the plug hole to get ride of excess fuel...

Would want to be sure all the match burnt way . Dont want any foreign body crushed on piston crown .

Also, when you say fresh fuel, you didn't just empty the tank and refill from the same mixed can find you? How old is the premix you are using - under a month old or older than that?
