If your Chainsaw won't Start, is HARD to START, or WON'T actually start at all, then this video has a practical easy to follow procedure for you to follow. A vital tool in your toolbox is knowledge. Without prior knowledge.

If your chainsaw wont start, it can be quite frustrating, especially when you're in the middle of a project or need it for some urgent yard work. However, there are several remedies you can try to get your chainsaw up and running smoothly. Here are some common solutions:

Check the Fuel: Ensure you have fresh, properly mixed fuel. Old or improperly mixed fuel can cause starting issues. Empty the old fuel and replace it with a fresh mixture of the correct gasoline and two-stroke oil ratio.

Inspect the Spark Plug: A fouled or damaged spark plug can be a common culprit for starting problems. Remove the spark plug and check its condition. If it's worn, corroded, or fouled with carbon deposits, replace it with a new one.

Clean the Air Filter: A clogged air filter can restrict the airflow, making it difficult to start the engine. Remove the air filter, clean it, or replace it if it's too dirty or damaged.

Choke Adjustment: Make sure you're using the choke correctly. In cold weather, use the choke to enrich the fuel mixture for easier starting, and once the engine warms up, gradually disengage the choke.

Compression Test: If you suspect a compression problem, you can perform a compression test to check the engine's health. If the compression is too low, it might require professional attention.

Fuel Lines and Filter: Check the fuel lines and fuel filter for blockages or damage. Replace any damaged parts and ensure proper fuel flow.

Carburetor Adjustment: If none of the above solutions work, you might need to adjust the carburetor settings. It's recommended to consult your chainsaw's manual or seek professional assistance if you're not familiar with carburetor adjustments.

Regular Maintenance: To prevent starting issues in the future, perform regular maintenance on your chainsaw. This includes cleaning the carburetor, checking for leaks, and ensuring all components are in good condition.

Fuel Quality: Always use high-quality, ethanol-free fuel to avoid gum and varnish buildup in the carburetor. This can clog the carburetor and affect starting.

Remember to prioritize safety when working with your chainsaw, and if you're not confident in troubleshooting and fixing the problem, don't hesitate to seek professional assistance to ensure your chainsaw is running safely and efficiently.

This video will show you how to get your chainsaw started again whether it is a Husqvarna chainsaw, a Poulan chainsaw, a Stihl chainsaw and many others (that have a 2-stroke engine)
