If fuel sits in the gas tank 3 months, the fuel deteriorates and it gums up the filter in the tank. You need to put stabil in the tank. This has happened to me over and over. It is best to dump out the gasoline if you don't use the tiller within one month. Some people who use chain saws commercially dump all the gas out every day and start over the next day. The symptoms are the tiller won't run at high speed at first, then as it gums up more
it won't run even at low speed, then becomes hard to start.
The gum is hard to see. Pull out the gas line to get to the filter and change the filter. Filters are only 3 or 4 dollars at hardware stores.
Remove the carburetor cover and inspect all fuel lines for coming loose on the carburetor and the primer. If nothing is obviously wrong, return the saw to where you bought it to obtain warranty service. Hope this helps!
turn key on and listen for fuel pump in the tank, it should go on for a few seconds then turn off. if you cant hear it try to listen at the fill cap when someone else turns the key on. if you cant hear it , check the safety shutdown relay under hood, it shuts down fuel pump and ignition
Those saws are very finicky. First shake the saw very vigorously, as the saw running dry mayy have sucked dirt to the intake screen. Clean the plug and check gap. Prime, choke and pull till it starts. your plug may be foulled, this happens alot when a saw leans out from running out of fuel.
gas issue, saw chokes out. look in your gas tank and make suri your line runs all the way down. follow the lead and make sur both leads connect do this by pressing prime and making sure the pressure is channeling.
sounds like your clunk has come free from fuel line or it is stuck at top of fuel tank. i would empty tank and see if clunk is free by giving the saw a good shake if you cant here the rattel of the clunk you have found the problem PS clunk is a weight attached to the end of your fuel line in tank it makes the line stay at the bottom of the tank
Fuel lines: one comes from the tank...has a filter in side the tank...runs up to the intake of the carb... you can tell by hooking up the lines to the carb, and put one into a gas supply... press the prime bulb... if it pulls gas, thats the one to hook into the tank...if not it 's the other... there should only be two lines a fuel supply and a return pressure line. Clean the air filter while you've got it apart.... k
Fill the gas tank with new fuel.Priming the engine(put some gas in the sparkplug hole for few times and start the engine until it runs constantly):There is small amount of water in the gas.
Remove exhaust , check piston make shore you have a chance,
check ex screen isn't blocked.
check choke isn't stuck on,and half throttle is working. get back to me from there.cheers
An engine needs three things to run(fuel and air mixed together in the correct proportions,compresion of the fuel/air mixture and ignition).Make carb adjustments,check the compression and the spark from the sparkplug.Priming the engine(put some gas into the sparkplug hole).Try to start the engine.If engine is running only the gas from the cilinder,the chain saw has a fuel delivery problem.Disassembly the carb and clean the inner parts.Check the fuel and air filters,fuel hose and gas tank ventil.
