Question, although not specific about turning, it's about my ability to get wood for turning. More about my chainsaws ability to cut my wood down to size from logs... LOL
Any chainsaw mechanics here? I have a 10yr old Stilhl that has worked flawlessly for most it's life. I went to start it, now nothing. No spark. 2 spark plugs were tried, still nothing. It does not appear to have any spark. Laying plug against metal and pulling cord, no spark I can see. Cleaned/dried plugs, set gap, no fire. After a couple pulls, the plug is wet with gas as should be so not a fuel supply problem. I got irritated and did something I hate to do, gave a quick shot of either, no fire. I have never had an engine not atleast sputter when shot with starting fluid so it has to be what, a mag?
Is this easily fixed, or should I just bite the bullet and pick up a new saw? This saw has not sat long since I've owned it, I have easily felled 5-600 trees with this as we go through a lot of firewood every year. It has never failed me, until yesterday. I *NEED* to cut some wood for my turning, already going through withdrawals...... HELP... LOL
