It should but sometimes you just have to disassemble it and clean in manually.
Or buy a new one....
Futs down a bit, will be cool if my UVXY pays off

I can't figure it out either, but I'm trying to get something useful out of this thread...
Hey Margin_Gamble.... how are you with fixing chainsaws?
I tried to trim a tree yesterday, always a dicey proposition at best, but my damn chainsaw wouldn't start.
I have spark, fuel, I even checked the compression, AND tried spraying starting fluid into the carb... and the damn thing still won't start.
You seem to know quite a bit about everything... help a brother out.
(Where's Murray_turtle, I'll bet he'll know.)
Ok... back to our "the sky is falling" discussion.

My uncle had a chainsaw repair shop, so I like fixing them rather than buying a new one. Also got some UVXY on Fri.Or buy a new one....

Try cleaning or replacing the air filter.
Lol.Two things come to mind.
A) make sure the chain brake is not engaged,
B. Make sure the chain bar has enough lube in the reservoir and the chain is not too tight. It should be pullable by hand across the bar when the engine is off with some moderate resistance.
carbureator. most likely the needle in the float is stuck. jmo
But starting fluid is a solvent and should clean out any gunk that might be sticky.

This is the weirdest thread I have seen in a long time here. We no longer care about trading, we just want to get VZ's chainsaw working again. lol!

Yeah I was referring to your mention of the needle in the float bowl.all gasolines engines have a carb with a needle and a seat, even two stokes.

Those do get stuck on 4 strokes.
As I said earlier (post 22 and 25) bears might want to reconsider staying bearish. So….up now about 151 points. I would expect more north bound movement from this point. There may be PB’s but north appears to be the likely direction if looking at the bar by bar pressures the chart depicts.Plus another look at it from a weekly chart. Tight bull channel. More bull weekly bars than bear weekly bars = buying pressure. 50% PB is a bull flag in form of a daily bear channel. 50% is profit taking from previous tight bull move (blue). Buying is back in likely north for several hundred points. Bears might want to think about this.
