Does anyone know how to fix a chainsaw?

[jeep_junkie]

I have a husqvarna chainsaw that will NOT start. Tried everything I could to fix it and still nothing. Looking for someone who knows how to fix one, and willing to pay.

It's about a decade or 2 newer than my Husky saw, and it still runs like a champ.

Call it a Gentleman's understanding, it's usually wise to STFU unless you have any input that helps the OP.

This isn't Facebook. Let's keep it that way.

have you followed it back to see if getting fuel? a lot of those machines is often simple fuel filter plug up. I have that a fw times on my older pioneer.. actually need to do it again.. GL

was it sitting for a long time with fuel in it? Take the carb apart and give it a good cleaning. They are pretty simple and easier than you think to do yourself.

Steps

1. Take out plug, put plug wire back on, hold against metal and turn over.
Spark - go to step 2
No Spark - figure out why

2. Check compression, hold thumb over spark plug hole.
Compression - go to step 3
No Compression - Stop now and use as anchor

3. Pour a little gas down spark plug hole, put plug back in and try to start.
Starts - have fuel problem, work backwards from carb to tank.
Doesnt start - Check air inlet, repeat step 3 till it starts.

This is how I diagnose every 2 stroke small engine, pretty fool proof

Ya I put in new fuel, changed the plug, tried a bit of gas down the hole, also cleaned the air filter and still nothing. Was thinking about getting a rebuild carb kit and trying that. I'm sure I can find a you tube video on how to do it.
Anyone know the best place to get parts for it.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

Does it have spark?

If it doesnt start by putting fuel in the cylinder then fuel is not your problem.
