Husqvarna 268 will not start
Does any one have a husqvarna 61 or 268 chainsaw for sale fixing one up thanks
There is a number of things an engine needs to run,clean fuel getting to the engine, a good spark, adequate compression and an air tight engine, if there is an issue with any of these the engine will struggle to run, so remove the muffler and take a look at the condition of the piston face through the open port, any sign of scuffing and the cylinder will need to be removed and the damage assessed, check there is a spark at the plug by removing the plug and resting against the cylinder, crank the engine to check for a spark, does the plug get wet with fuel after attempting to start, if not we have fuel starvation, possibly stale fuel, blocked fuel filter, broken fuel hose, a pressure test of the engine is more a shop check.

The carburetor might be clogged. A clogged carburetor is often caused by leaving fuel in the chainsaw for a long period of time. ... This sticky fuel can clog up the carburetor and prevent the engine from starting. If the carburetor is clogged, try cleaning it with carburetor cleaner.
