SOURCE: old homelite chainsaw, wont pull fuel

most of the time there is a air leak in one of the two crank shaft seals.to get to them you need to pull off the flywheel and the clutch assy.look for wet areas. that will be where the seal is letting out the oil and air.If you keep putting starting fluid in the carburator you will burn the rings,the piston and the cylinder up

Try some starter fluid (eather) that wil give you an indication if it's ignition or a fuel problem.

SOURCE: Will not start

That seems to imply that the check valves in the primer pump and in the fuel pump section of the carburetor are bad or the air pressure just forced by the valves. The line without the filter is the tank return line from the primer pump. The primer pump is supposed to pull fuel from the fuel filter into the carburetor flooding all spaces within it it, then passing out to the primer pump and from there, back into the tank. Does the primer bulb fill with fuel after several pumps? The first try may take longer because you forced all of the fuel out of the carburetor with the air pressure. Make sure all of the carburetor fasteners are tight. It's possible that you have injured the diaphragm in the carburetor lower chamber when you blew air into the line. Go to: www.drystacked.com for a 12 page article on Walbro carburetor theory and troubleshooting. Make sure the spark plug gap is set at 0.020". Hope some of this helps!

Cub Cadet RT65 tiller wont start
If plug is wet then likely it's flooded. A flooded engine won't fire even with starter fluid.

If plug is dry then more likely compression. Place finger over spark plug hole and pull start rope. Compression should forcibly push your finger with Pfffft sound. If little or no compression then possibly a stuck valve or valve adjustment is needed.

Mcculloch 280B gas blower has compression, fuel, ignition, won't start
Remove all fuel. Remove spark plug. Dry out the crankcase and cylinder by pulling the starter several times.

Reinstall spark plug. Remove air filter, hold throttle open and spray a short burst (~1sec) of starter fluid down throat of carburetor. Release throttle and promptly pull starter rope up to 5x.

If it fires and runs a few seconds then it is a fuel/carburetor problem.

If still no fire then more likely a spark or compression problem. Replace spark plug with new proper type and gap. Retry with starter fluid. If still no run then likely either a failed ignition module or poor compression/crankcase leak.

Here's a good one. Spark & gas, won't start.
The most common cause is a wood chip stuck in the inlet or exhaust valve.
Check the compression.

Why my blower want start and run?
If plug is wet with fuel, it is likely flooded. A flooded engine will not fire... even with starter fluid.

Remove air filter and spray a short 1 sec. burst of starter fluid into throat of carburetor and promptly pull starter up to three times.

If still no fire, check if plug is wet. If wet, then likely flooded. Dump fuel from tank, remove spark plug and pull starter several times to clear excess fuel. Check spark plug gap and reinstall spark plug. Leave fuel tank empty and repeat above procedure. If still no fire, remove plug... it should be dry. If dry then either insufficient spark (fouled plug), timing (sheared flywheel key), or insufficient compression (probable crankcase leak).

Cub cadet with kohler sv725 has compression, and spark wont start even on starting fluid sprayed in carb
There needs to be fuel, air, spark and compression. It may not start with starter fluid if it's already flooded. It may not start if a valve is stuck open.
You can take the sparkplug out and check to make sure it's not got excess fuel. Plug should be dry.

PURCHASED BRAND NEW MS 311 SAW. HAVE SWITCH ON COLD START, HAVE PUSHED BLACK BUTTON IN ON TOP, AM PULLING THE CHORD LIKE THIRTY TIMES. CAN SMELL ALITTLE PETROL BUT IT WONT KICK OVER
Likely it is flooded. Try starting without choke. Move control lever into choke position, then back to start position. This sets a high idle throttle/no choke. Don't touch throttle or it will drop throttle position from high idle to idle. Set decompress and pull starter cord no more than 3x.

You may have to remove spark plug and pull start cord several times to get the excess fuel out of the cylinder and crankcase. Dry spark plug with compressed air or starter fluid. Reinstall spark plug. Pull starter cord no more than 3x. If it doesn't fire, remove plug and inspect tip. If completely dry, no fuel. If wet either no spark or it has flooded again, check for spark.

My Honda em5000s will not start. I changed the oil and put in a new sparkplug. I tried using starting fluid. Cleaned fuel filter/bowl. I pull but it won't fire.
To have success using starter fluid as a diagnostic you will need to remove the air filter cover and element. Then with choke open make a short (1 second) burst of starter fluid directly into the carburetor throat. (There is no need to saturate the intake with starter fluid... it is bad practice.) Promptly pull starter cord no more than 3 times. If you have compression and proper spark, it will fire and run for 1-3 seconds and stop as it will have expended the available fuel (starter fluid).

If it doesn't fire, repeat procedure. If still doesn't fire, likely no spark or plug is fouled. Promptly remove spark plug and check that plug is dry. Then check it has proper gap and you have spark. A wet plug will imply it is flooded and a flooded engine will not fire even with starter fluid.

If it does fire, then the likely problem is no fuel or water in fuel. Drain fuel bowl and some fuel (1/2 pint) from tank (just open fuel shutoff valve with carb bowl drain open) into a clear glass jar, let set for a minute and check for visible water line. If water visible, drain tank and refill with fresh fuel (use a clean EMPTY fuel container go to filling station and get 2 gal. fresh). If no water, then likely carburetor is fouled and will need service.

Makita concrete saw dpc7321 won't start has fuel and spark compression seems low 60 psi what should it be?
That does seem low, but it's a 2cycle.
It hasn't been run hot or w/o proper gas/oil mix has it ?
Will it fire with a squirt of starter fluid ?
If you squirt some oil into the spark plug hole, does the compression go up very much ?
If it has spark and won't fire w/starter fluid sprayed in thru the carb, it's most likely a ring/piston/cylinder problem.
If it fires with starter fluid, it's fuel not getting into the cylinder.

ISO definitive eng compartment pic/diag/schematic of fuel line & line-pressure valve/access, bleed disconnects + alt intake spots 4 starting fluid, beyond air filter intake.
to remove contaminated fuel , pull a fuel line of the fuel manifold and run the pump for a few seconds
not firing is sensor , immobilizer , ignition module problem but you stat that it fires on starter fluid so that cannot be right
starter fluid is a d good way of damaging the engine
a better way is to find and fix the fault
now to try and sort out what you are saying
it is cranking so the starter is good
it tries to run on starter fluid so there is spark to the plugs
it will not run and that indicates a lack of fuel to the injectors
a lack of fuel indicates
1--- a bad fuel pump
2--a vacuum in ht e fuel system from the tank not venting properly(EVAP system)
3--- fuel pressure regulator not working and providing pressure to the injectors
4--- bad injectors --- need cleaning
dump the starter fluid , buy a workshop manual and fix the problem properly

Saw won't start without starting fluid.
Sounds like you have a compression problem. Starting fluid will fire at a much lower compression than a gas/oil mix so that's why it will start with it. When the motor is running you get a little more compression because the piston is coming up so fast. You should check the condition of your cylinder wall and piston & ring. If they are damaged at all you loose compression which directly affects starting and running power.
