  Chainsaw won t start

well, this is all cementics, you're probably right, I just never looked at that thing as an on/off switch. The black toggle switch near the handle can be in three positions. The top-most is the "off" position and shuts off the saw. I don't think I can even pull the cord with the switch in the "off" position. I used to give the saw a pull or two in the "cold" mode, then move the switch to the "warm" position, pull it once and on it goes... but not in the current comatose state. I'll be sure to ask the repair man what the hell went wrong with this thing.

I not sure where I fit in but it is my understanding you can have a very high IQ and no common sense.


Guess you could be low in both. Laughing out loud

You can pull it all day long in the off or up position! It won't start but will turn over. The next position is the run and the bottom is choke.

I hadn't taken it to the mechanic yet - I need all my money for the house and I don't need the saw right away. That's what happens when you go into bioscience, most of the compensation comes in the form of intangibles, like the satisfaction of working on a worthwile project.

see the post by kwschumm:

money = work / knowledge

I have a bit too much in the denominator : )

My client had a cheepy Poulan "Wild Thing" saw that wouldn't start. When she gave it to me, it was drenched in fuel and oil since she had it stored up side down. I sprayed the area inside the cover where the off switch connects to the handle and linkages with carb cleaner. Turns out the contacts either weren't making contact or were contacting and shouldn't have been---the cleaner worked.
