I have 3 chain saws around here and I'm constantly having problems getting any one of them started. Today the one I've been using for the last few weeks started acting up so I tried another that ran a couple of months ago. Nothing. Nada.
Dick told me to prime it with propane. So I pulled the cover and put an unlit propane torch into the air filter while my friend pulled the rope. It started on the second pull. When I removed the torch it died. So we did it again and kept the torch feeding propane to it for 15 to 20 seconds. After that it ran fine all day with no further starting problems.
Thanks Dick.
