Chainsaw partner pours a candle. Chainsaw wet spark plug: why and what to do

What to do if your chain saw won't start

Good afternoon, dear readers and subscribers of my blog! At some inopportune moment, your chainsaw will not start. But don’t rush to immediately take a repair tool; perhaps you can fix this breakdown yourself. I will tell you what to do in cases when chainsaw does not start, and how to find the right solution to this problem.

We analyze the possible causes of the breakdown

Find why the tool cannot be run in the instruction itself. But instructions don't always come.

Although each model has its own characteristics, in general they are all similar. So I'll tell you about possible reasons breakdowns and possible solutions for different instruments.

How the mechanism works

Almost all tools, both foreign (Husqvarna, Makita, Shtil, Partner 350) and Chinese chainsaws, as well as domestic ones (friendship, Ural). Therefore, finding the reason why the device does not start or stop is not very difficult.

There are four elements where problems may arise:

  • The fuel for which the carburetor is responsible;
  • Lubrication;
  • The air that comes through air filter;
  • A spark, the quality of which depends on the ignition unit.

They all depend on each other and interact with each other. If any element does not work correctly, the saw stops working.

Let's start with the fact that all tools are configured differently. hot and cold. Two commonly used mechanisms are responsible for this process.

Don't forget to look at what the user manual says. It says that when you engage, you need to make sure the emergency stop brake is locked. But starting a saw with a brake is much more difficult, so sometimes it is better not to apply the brake.

As you can see from the manual, inside the case there is fuel tank and the engine, and outside. saw section (bar with chain), handle and starter.

First we need to figure out exactly how the tool is not running. For example, the saw starts, but immediately catches the eye or loses the power of work, the quality cuts.

Possible interruptions occur due to problems in the engine. But I wouldn't recommend taking it apart immediately. It is better to look for the problem using the simplest option.

It is very important to consider the quality of the fuel. If the mixture is not prepared correctly or has deteriorated over time, even reliable tools such as Urals or Husqvarna 145 will not work. The instructions should indicate the proportions and specific oil for your chainsaw.

Another common problem. during startup, the user pours a candle. It needs to be checked, if it is completely dry, then the fuel does not pass into the cylinder.

The chainsaw is not starts, floods candles

Chainsaw won't start, pours candles, what to do Group in contact:.

If you see black carbon deposits or a lot of fuel, the carburetor may not be adjusting the fuel properly.

If your sawtooth starts but stops immediately, the problem is locating the carburetor jet or fuel filter. Perhaps they are clogged.

To check if the baffle is damaged, you need to disconnect the fuel hose from the carburetor and see if fuel mixture flows out of it.

If the saw does not start hot, the problem may be with the muffler. Sometimes it becomes clogged with exhaust gases.

Quite often, saw rupture occurs due to a small amount of chain lube. This occurs with clogged channels or leaking oil pipelines.

Also check the pipe connections to the oil pump nozzles to see if they are leaking.

It is very bad when there is a failure in the cylinder. When checking it you you can find bumps or chips may be causing the problem.

We restore the operation of the instrument

To restore the operation of the saw, it doesn’t matter the brand Ural or Calm, you need to know the location of the dislocation.

First, we check and change the inappropriate fuel mixture. If the saw still does not start, we check it further.

The problem is the spark plug. remove and dry. Do not pierce it under any circumstances, as this will cause the part to malfunction. After 30 minutes of drying, you can put the plug back in before checking to see if any fuel is still in place.

In addition, the candle may simply break, so it is better to get rid of the cause.

According to which the tool is severely damaged and stuck. this is poor contact between the spark plugs and the high-voltage wire. If everything is in order here, but there are still no sparks, the ignition module itself may be broken. Such a breakdown can only be eliminated by replacing it.

You should check and clean your air filters from time to time. If you haven't checked it since purchasing it, it could become clogged with dust and cause a malfunction.

In models such as Calm 180, Ural or Partner 350, breathing space is blocked, which often leads to breakdown. To clean it, you can use a sewing needle.

Stihl 180, Friendship, Ural and Huskvarna 142 models sometimes clog the muffler, this also needs to be checked and cleaned.

If the problem is in the carburetor, then without proper experience you should not try to fix it. It is best to contact specialists.

If, after checking and eliminating the above, it does not start, then most likely the failure is hidden in the cylinder group.

When you see damage and chips on the piston or cylinder, you will have to replace these elements.

If the cause of a chainsaw malfunction is a plug that is leaking, it is likely that insufficient lubrication is supplied to the chain. To solve the problem, the pipes are only replaced and the seams are sealed with sealant.

Mechanism parts cannot last forever, so they will need to be changed periodically. To find out which part you need to look at the instructions.

Separately about the breakdown of the most common model

Let's look at the problems of Shtil 180 in more detail:

  1. The carburetor becomes clogged or fuel filter. These are the most common problems and are very easy to fix after cleaning. Sometimes the filter needs to be changed;
  2. Replacing the spark plug;
  3. Sometimes it is necessary to replace the cylinder or oil seals.

Saw Stall is strong and durable enough that the breakdown can often be repaired on its own. In fact, the same applies to the Partner, Ural, Makita and Husqvarna models.

I had the same problem, the new saw did not start after the 2nd fill-up, I couldn’t find anything in the advice, Unscrew the switch off, look at the piston, but there is no need to do this if you feel that there is compression, the starting cable is pulled with force. And what remains for our client, it turned out to be outrageously simple, filled the candle and due to inexperience. We drain all the gasoline from the barrel. We unscrew the spark plug, check the spark, then you need to drain the remaining gasoline from the cylinder, for this purpose you turn the cylinder upside down and gently pull the starting cable, draining the excess approximately 10 times. Next, I put the saw in the same position for min 5 for ventilation and drying, and tighten the candle. We fill the tank with gasoline and oil in the indicated proportions. I put the lever into cool start, pulling it twice smoothly with the 3rd jerk, and it started on the third jerk. And I was already planning to take it to the service center.

The same problem, the saw was new, and at the 2nd gas station it wouldn’t start. I checked that the carburetor was overfilled, the spark plug was in the gasoline, and after drying, a spark appeared. After purging the cylinder, as described in the instructions, I tried to start it. When the damper is in the “Cold Start” position, there is one flash, I move the damper to the starting position - it does not start. Unscrewed it candle- again in gasoline. I blew it with the starter a hundred times, same problem. And so, having gone to your website, read Oleg’s advice (regarding blowing with the starter in an inverted position of the saw), I tried it, and 10 grams of gasoline poured out of the cylinder and carburetor. Then, attaching the spark plug (without wrapping it) to the tip, set the damper to the starting position and blew some more air. Assembled, fueled, started. So thanks to Oleg for useful advice!

Thanks for the advice.

Oleg, thank you so much... everything is simply ingenious!
Briefly... The saw is 6 years old, I use it 10 times a year. Sometimes it started up poorly and at some point everything... I followed your advice. The problem has been solved, it's a pity to spend money on a new spark plug and air. filter, but I think it might come in handy in the future.
Thanks again. Dear readers. always start simple... most often the problem is in the small things. Good luck to everyone with the renovation!

Thanks to Oleg for useful advice. Such recommendations
must be stated in the instructions. The new saw did not start for the third time, there was a spark, but it threw the spark plug. I did everything as Oleg wrote, it started from the first pull.

Many thanks to Oleg. I was about to take the saw in for service, but following Oleg’s recommendation, everything was resolved very simply.

I took Oleg’s advice and it started right away without any problems.
It's simple but very effective.
Thank you very much Oleg!

Oleg, thank you very much. I did everything as you advised in the comments and my MS-180 started from the first start.

I read and looked through a lot of information on the Internet, read what Oleg wrote, decided to try it, did everything in the same sequence, and oh MIRACLE. my old lady came to life (5 years old) calm 180, although I had no hope to be honest, no matter what I did in these 2 days, I wanted to send it in for repairs, I thought my “old lady had died, but no, it will still serve, it turns out that everything is so simple, thank you so much Oleg.

Don't start chainsaw 180? Reasons and solutions!

Today, the manufacturer Shtil occupies a leading position among other companies that produce equipment for agricultural and construction work. The products of this manufacturer are known not only for their high level quality, but also for the optimal pricing policy and the power of its models. This is one of the world's most famous companies.

It is probably quite difficult to meet a person who does not have a chainsaw of this brand. But that out of ten it is possible that six people have them. And this is not surprising, since Calmstress chainsaws represent strength as well as sleek design. But unfortunately, such technology giants sometimes fail and require some kind of repair. Today we will pay attention to one of the moles of this manufacturer, namely the Stihl ms 180 chainsaw. Read about the stihl ms 660 chainsaw here. So let's get started.

Briefly about the main thing

This model is the pride of the German manufacturer and is a straight tool designed for minor work. It can be used for a maximum of twenty hours per month. This beautiful device will help you take care of your garden, prepare firewood for winter period(see How to cut down a tree), clear areas and become an indispensable assistant in other areas, say, simple manipulations.

We can say that this is a mini chainsaw model because it has a small weight 3.9 kg, it does not have a large tank mass, both oil and fuel. The manufacturer equips this device with a two-stroke engine with enough power for easy operation.

In addition, it is quite quiet, as the noise level does not exceed 98 dB during operation. To better understand the volume level, compare it to spoken language, which is 76 dB.

The power of this model is 2.6 W. It's worth noting that this is a pretty significant level of strength considering this is not a professional chainsaw. The oil tank has a volume of only 0.145 liters, and the fuel tank. 0.25 liters. The tire measures 350mm and has a height of 0.325 inches.

The basis of this type of plant, like all other chainsaws, is the carburetor. But since we are talking today about the Shtil 180 chainsaw, it does not depart from the topic. So. The carburetor in this model has one adjustment screw, that is, it is a kind of screw that installs idling. While the fully charged jet is motionless.

Chainsaw carburetor calm 180

Speaking in simple words, we can say that it is simply impossible to adjust (see here), while setting full load can't just change. It is important that the carburetor is designed at the factory in such a way that, regardless of the conditions under which the chainsaw is operated directly, the air-fuel mixture is supplied to the engine.

Don't start sawing: reasons and solutions

It is worth noting the fact that the 180th saw of this manufacturer is one of the best in its “creations”, but also has its drawbacks. Actually, what we are talking about now.

  • Quite often the problem is that the 180 shaft saw will not start and floods the candle. The reason for this is that the oil that is poured in to lubricate the chain begins to leak. Because time is merciless and a simple leak occurs in the place where the hose itself is connected to the oil pump and the oil tank. Naturally, this problem can be solved, but given the design of this chainsaw, it will not be so easy, since you will simply need to completely disassemble the device in order, as they say, to get to the right place. The video shows more clearly: https://www.youtube.com/watch? V = UOsYJBOVuwg
  • Many people are concerned about this issue: why not start the Shtil 180 chainsaw? If you believe the experts, then in this situation you need to first open and then close the cap that is on the gas cylinder. Either take it or dry the candle. Or try resetting the combustion chamber. In most cases, this kind of manipulation is enough to make the device work. But there are times when the Chainsaw Steer does not start, but there is a spark.
  • In the above case you need to do a straight line gasoline supply test, air filter and direct spark plug operation. Because the basis of this kind of failure is respite, namely its pollution. Because when it is completely clogged, there is a vacuum in the gasoline tank itself, which simply interferes with the fuel delivery process. It is not difficult to solve this problem as all you have to do is clean it using a needle.
  • In addition, there are situations when the device is basically wounded, but immediately died.

Why is the spark plug in the chainsaw flooded?

Chainsaw won't start, spark plugs flood

Chainsaw does not start, pours candles, What do. Vkontakte community:.

The main reasons for this type of failure are the carburetor and filter, which can easily become clogged.

To eliminate the saloon from being damaged, you will first need to disconnect the fuel hose from the carburetor itself and ensure that no fuel is leaking out of it.

  • You must remember that when proper operation chainsaws gasoline should flow out in a dense and stable stream. Also, it is not uncommon for a chainsaw to take a calm 180. A calm 180 does not start hot and actually stops after turning on or holds power for a short time. In this case, the problem of breakdown lies precisely in the muffler, which can simply be clogged with any sediment that occurs during operation of the device, and which settles during the exhaust process.
  • Besides, common reason tool failure insufficient lubrication of the device circuit itself. This could be due to passages that are simply clogged, or it could be due to an oil pipe that is leaking.

    Chain chain lubrication

    • Connecting pipes or the connections themselves may also leak in the area of ​​the oil pump connections.
    • It happens that Chainsaw 180 launches poorly due to a cylinder that can be broken. But to determine its condition, it is enough to check visually. But if you find the formation of irregularities and splits there, then you can be sure that you have found the cause of the breakdown.
    • If after checking you find that spark plug fault, then you just need to turn it off and then do direct drying. But it's worth noting that it can't be pierced anyway, as you'll just ruin the part and it won't be used. You also need to remove excess fuel from it through a special hole.

    In addition, you must remember that immediate drying should be carried out for at least thirty minutes, and only after such manipulations can you install it back and actually try to make a straight start of the tool.

    Moreover, it could also be that your spark plug has just passed its expiration date, in which case it needs to be replaced. That's why best advice is that it is better to always have a new spark plug or best set. You can then replace it at any time and actually understand whether it was the immediate cause of the device failure. In addition, the cause of the failure may be a weak contact that actually connects the high voltage wire and the end of the plug. In addition, the cause may be a failure of the ignition unit. It is worth noting that to fix this problem it is necessary to replace the unit itself, since it cannot be repaired.

  • Equally important is the excitement of the owners of this model systematic idling after actual emptying of the first gasoline tanks. But if you believe the experts in this field, then they say that this situation does not pose any problem. But still, if this process is repeated quite often, then you just need to reduce the engine speed using the carburetor screw.
  • In addition, you can personally produce cleaning the muffler itself, because it may be the cause of the malfunction. This manipulation is not difficult. The carburetor is often a common cause of poor tool performance.
  • But it is worth noting that it is best to have experts fix it, since if you have the necessary knowledge and skills, you can simply break it and buy a new one.

    The important thing is that even if you have found the cause of the tool failure, this does not mean that you can fix it yourself. Because there are types of damage that can only be corrected by a specialist. If you have made a direct manipulation regarding checking and replacing the quality of the oil (see “Oil for a chain saw”), but, nevertheless, the chainsaw still refuses to start, in which case you need to continue the search.

    But if you have completely completed all the above-mentioned manipulations and have not missed a single nuance, but still the tool has not yet been fixed, then in this case The problem is in the group called the cylinder. But if you still can't "revive" your iron friend, then just take a chainsaw to service center, where you will have your device repaired.

    To sum it up.

    In fact, as you see the causes of chainsaw collapse, Stil 180 is quite a lot, and at the same time, the solutions to this problem are just as good. If you are faced with such a situation, just follow all the above recommendations and, undoubtedly, you will be able to restore your device and it will delight you with your work for many more years.

    The spark plug is an integral part of any engine. internal combustion, providing the energy needed to ignite the fuel. If it is corroded, dirty, worn or otherwise damaged, the engine will either not start or perform poorly. A poorly functioning motor in a Stihl chain saw can mean more work for the operator and can be dangerous. Therefore, Stihl recommends replacing the spark plug every 100 hours of operation.

    The role of the spark plug

    The spark plug in a Stihl chain engine or any engine is simple device. Every time the engine flywheel completes a revolution, the magnet attached to it induces an electric current in the static magnet. This current generates a spark through the plug's electrodes. The spark ignites the fuel-air mixture in the combustion chamber, which moves the piston and makes the engine run. If the plug electrodes are far apart or covered with oil, carbon deposits, the spark is intermittent or weak, resulting in incomplete combustion and poor engine performance.

    Why does the spark plug on a chainsaw flood?

    When a spark plug on a chainsaw is poured, you must immediately conduct a thorough check of the tool.

    1. Checking the plug. Part of regular maintenance of your Stihl chain saw is to remove the fork and inspect it (every 10 to 15 hours of operation is recommended.) If the motor is running normally, the outer electrode will likely be covered in light brown deposits. The operator must check the gap between the electrodes using a special tool. If the engine is running normally, the problem appears in the condition of the plug. Thick black deposits indicate that the fuel/air mixture is not balanced. In other words, there is not enough air in the mixture. On the other hand, wide gaps or corroded electrodes are indicators of a lean mixture. Oil on the plug indicates a leak.
    2. Clean or replace? If the fork is coated with light brown deposits and the clearance is correct, the operator does not need to do anything to the fork. It is enough to return it to its place, and the chainsaw should continue to work normally. If it is covered with black deposits or oil, you need to remove this layer with sandpaper. If necessary, adjust the gap with pliers. One of the conditions indicating the need for replacement is electrode wear. If the engine stalls, you need to check it with a spark plug tester and replace it if the spark is not strong or appears every once in a while.

    Avoid using ethanol fuel

    When the spark plug of a Shtil chainsaw fills, you can suspect the fault of low-quality fuel. Regardless of the condition of the plug after 100 hours of operation, Stihl recommends replacing it with a new one. Use a resistor type plug and check the manual for your model of Stihl chainsaw for recommended replacements. If your fork needs replacing because it is too worn, it may be because you are using ethanol-laced gasoline.

    Ethanol burns differently than gasoline and can cause the engine to overheat. One of the symptoms of this is worn electrodes, and then flooding of the spark plug. Stihl recommends 89-octane ethanol-free gasoline. Under no circumstances should gasoline contain more than 10% ethanol.

    How to quickly fix the problem?

    It is important to know why the spark plug on a chainsaw is flooded and what can be done in this case. Stihl saws have a choke that makes cold starting easier, but the operator must use it correctly. When it closes the throttle, the carburetor sprays additional fuel into the combustion chamber. If the engine does not start within the first three or four thrusts, the fuel and air mixture become unbalanced. And if you continue to pull the starter when the throttle is closed, a large amount of fuel will ignite and the spark plug will flood.

    If you find out that the chainsaw will not start, and the spark plug is in perfect order, read our recommendations in the article -?

    You can simply wait for the fuel to drain, but there is a quick way to clean it.

    1. Place the chain saw on a level surface and make sure the chain release system is activated. Pull the wire from the spark plug and remove the plug using wrench. Check the electrodes and wipe them with a cloth if they are full of fuel.
    2. Unscrew the air filter cover and remove the air filter. Clean it if it is dirty.
    3. Set the main control lever to the minimum throttle or open position. Pull the starting rope five or six times.
    4. Install the air filter, spark plug and connect the spark plug wire. Leave the throttle open and pull the starter cord several times. The chain saw should start.

    Things you will need to work on the Stihl saw:

    • gloves;
    • spark plug key;
    • rag.

    1. When cold starting a Stihl chainsaw, move the drive control lever to position after the fourth attempt to start it to avoid flooding the spark plug again. Move the lever to the minimum shutter position once the saw starts.
    2. Removing the air filter, spraying the original fluid into the carburetor and using the starter rope. This is another quick way to clean your engine. This creates a better fuel mixture that is easily ignited and the engine automatically runs smoothly and correctly.

    Warnings

    1. Wear gloves when operating a chain saw.
    2. Before starting the saw, make sure the panel is closed and the chain has stopped rotating before servicing the chainsaw.
    3. It is never a good idea to check the ignition system when the spark plug is removed, as this may result in a fire.

    One of the most common problems with chainsaws is spark plugs. Moreover, such situations are typical for various types of saws and it does not matter whether the tool is held in the hands of a beginner or a professional. Of course, this should not happen, because a spark cannot appear on a wet spark plug, and therefore the fuel mixture will not ignite.

    The key reason for a flooded spark plug on a chainsaw is an excessive amount of fuel and this can be caused by various reasons, in particular:

    • Poor quality gasoline.
    • Incorrect algorithm for starting a chainsaw, which is often the “sin” of inexperienced owners.
    • A clogged air filter that no longer copes with its function.
    • Ignition system failure.
    • Unadjusted carburetor operation.

    What to do when a candle on a chainsaw fills

    Before heading to the service center, it would be a good idea to try to fix the current malfunction of the spark plug on your chainsaw yourself. Of course, this is only relevant if you have “direct” hands, since, otherwise, there is a high probability of increasing the cost of repair work.

    Poor quality fuel

    IN chemical composition Low-octane gasoline contains various alcohol components. Their complete combustion requires more time than when using high-quality fuel, and accordingly this becomes the main reason for the failure of the chainsaw spark plug.

    Unfortunately, many citizens naively believe that fuel containing alcohol has a positive effect on gasoline consumption and purchase fuel substitutes. In some cases, efficiency does occur, but such fuel has a negative effect on the chainsaw engine, shortening its service life.

    Incorrect start

    As a rule, during the first start of a chainsaw, inexperienced men miss a “pop” when the air damper is closed and continue to pull the starter. Because of this, a large amount of fuel accumulates in the combustion chamber, but there is a critical lack of air. The spark plug is filled with excess gasoline and there is no longer any spark to speak of.

    Clogged filter

    Due to severe contamination of the paper filter of the chainsaw, a sufficient amount of oxygen does not enter the fuel chamber. The fuel mixture does not have time to ignite and gasoline floods the spark plug. If the filter has already exhausted its resource (this will be noticeable by its appearance), then it must be replaced. If you don’t have a new filter at hand, but you still need to work, you can try blowing the filter with a reverse air flow.

    Chainsaws from various manufacturers and model series differ from each other. To clean or change the filter, it is a good idea to first look at the instruction manual. Well, or look there if you can’t remove the filter without prompting.

    Ignition system failure

    Perhaps this is one of the most difficult problems that will need to be overcome in order to continue using the chainsaw. There may also be several reasons for the malfunction here.

    Incorrect clearance

    For the most part, the gap on the chainsaw's spark plug should be within 0.5 - 1.2 millimeters (more accurate data should be reflected in the user manual). In order to check if this is so, you need to do the following:

    1. Using a screwdriver or special keys, unscrew the bolts securing the chainsaw cover.
    2. Having gained access to the flywheel and magnetic core, the clearance level is checked.
    3. If it does not correspond to the characteristics declared by the manufacturers, then using a special gasket or improvised means (an ordinary A4 sheet folded several times is perfect) the required distance is set.

    Ignition coil problem

    To make sure that the ignition coil is working properly, you need to be able to use a multimeter. This device allows you to measure the degree of resistance of the coil. A good coil will have resistance. In a burnt out one there is a break or a short circuit.

    If the coil is working properly, then the gap between the coil and the flywheel may be broken. To set it up, you need to perform a number of simple steps:

    1. Disassembling the saw body and loosening the bolts that secure the ignition system. The magnet (magneto) of the flywheel must be connected to the coil itself.
    2. The adjusting plate is inserted between the flywheel magneto and the coil itself. The gap should be within 0.2 mm.
    3. After tightening the bolts, the adjustment plate is removed.
    4. It is imperative to rotate the flywheel completely and several times (2-3 will be enough). However, it should not cling to the coil.
    5. The final stage is assembling the chainsaw body.

    Carburetor adjustment failure

    Often the spark plug on a chainsaw is flooded due to improper operation of the carburetor. For greater clarity, we recommend watching this video

    If this is your first time setting up a carburetor yourself, pay attention to the following factors:

    1. Availability of built-in compensators and other elements automatic control makes adjustment impossible without special equipment. In this regard, you will have to contact a specialized service center.
    2. If there is no proper effect from adjusting the carburetor, the cause of flooding of the spark plug will be a stuck float or a lack of tightness of the valve.

    What to do if the spark plug is flooded on the chainsaw

    If you suspect a flooded spark plug, you need to inspect it. With help spark plug key She wriggles out and examines it carefully. If the spark plug is wet, but there is a spark, then it has definitely been flooded.

    Many experienced owners are able to determine with a high degree of probability the current condition of a candle by its color. It is recommended to carry out this procedure regularly.

    1. Light brown soot is exactly what all owners want to see. In this case, the functionality of the chainsaw is not impaired.
    2. Black carbon deposits indicate an unbalanced mixture, namely a lack of oxygen in the fuel chamber. If the situation does not improve, there is a high probability that the chainsaw spark plug will flood again.
    3. If corrosion is detected on the fork or the distance between the electrodes is too large, then most likely a lean fuel mixture is used.

    If the chainsaw spark plug has been flooded and you do not want to wait for the fuel to drain, there is a fairly effective and quick cleaning method.

    1. If the repair is carried out in the field, then the saw is installed on a flat surface (everything is easier in the workshop - a table will help), after which the explosive wire from the spark plug is pulled out and the spark plug is taken out using a key, its spark plug electrodes are wiped dry. In this case, the circuit breaking system must be turned on.
    2. The air filter cover is unscrewed and cleaned of dirt.
    3. After this, the control lever is set to the minimum throttle position, and the starting cord is pulled up to 10 times, but not less than 5. Thus, the combustion chamber is cleared of excess fuel.
    4. After replacing the air filter, installing the spark plug and connecting the wire, you should pull the starter cord a few more times. Wherein throttle valve must remain open.

    If these actions are performed correctly, the saw will “come to life” again.

    Most owners of chainsaws have filled the spark plugs more than once and at the same time have themselves returned the functionality of the tool more than once. Don’t be afraid of this problem: straight-growing hands and the presence of a user manual will help you continue to use the tool without going to a specialized center.
