Product Information

Where does the on-off switch for my Stihl blower go?” The positioning of this switch will greatly affect the life of your machine. If the switch is left in the “off” position while you are not using your blower, the machine will overheat and may even break down. Place your left foot through the rear handle so that you’re standing over the chainsaw with both hands gripping the handles The first thing you’ll notice about this saw is its compact size. At just under 9 pounds, it’s one of the lightest saws in its class. That makes it easy to handle, even if you’re not used to working with larger tools. But I’ll admit – there are some situations where it’s better to take your chainsaw to a specialist rather than experiment with different fixes. If you’ve tried the troubleshooting tips that I have talked about in this article and still you can’t get your chainsaw to fire up, then it’s best to take it to an expert for a professional repair. The Bottom Line

Chainsaw engines run on a delicate balance of fuel and air mixture and if the mixture goes off, all sorts of issues can start to surface. Your chainsaw refusing to start is not the only problem that can come out of it. Other issues such as rough engine performance, sudden idling can also happen because of it. The steps are like cold starting but with a few differences depending on the chainsaw model you are using. The most important step as mentioned above is to always set the chain brake before starting a chainsaw. Remember, unlike cold starting, when you hot start a chainsaw, fuel is already running in the saw, meaning, it will fire faster and that can be a surprise if the chain brake is not engaged. Designed for raw power and durability, the MS 441 C-M Magnum is most effective in heavy-duty forestry tasks, like felling large trees and enduring prolonged milling sessions.

How To Troubleshoot A Stihl Chainsaw

If you’re in the market for a lightweight, powerful chainsaw that won’t break the bank, the Stihl MS180C might be just what you’re looking for. This saw is designed for home and farm use, and it has plenty of features to make even the most challenging tasks a breeze. Let’s take a closer look at what the MS180C has to offer. The MS180C has a 14-inch bar and chain, which is perfect for most homeowner applications. It can easily handle everything from trimming branches to cutting firewood. Activate the chain brake by pushing it forward. If the chain brake is not activated in the right position, the chain will rotate when the recoil starter is pulled. Step 3: Decompression Valve

Now, if the ignition coil in your chainsaw is faulty or damaged, it won’t be able to send the voltage to the spark plug. And no spark means no combustion, and the engine in your chainsaw will not start up. This usually happens when there’s a short in the coil. Many people make a big mistake when learning how to start a Stihl chainsaw by neglecting routine maintenance. Interestingly, the ‘Step-by-Step Troubleshooting Guide’ was developed based on extensive research and tested methods used by professional technicians in resolving Stihl MS250 startup problems successfully over time.

SOLUTION: Remove the clogged line from the chainsaw and spray carburetor cleaner into the line to loosen up the clog. Blow compressed air through the line to remove the clog. Let me share a story – My first Stihl chainsaw was an MS170 that wouldn’t start no matter what. And after going through multiple troubleshooting steps, I realized that the chainsaw was fine – I simply didn’t engage the choke properly. Fixing a flooded engine in your chainsaw is pretty easy. But since it involves going through a couple of steps, I will talk about it in a later section of this article. When learning how to start a Stihl chainsaw, make sure to not over-tighten your chain, or else you risk damaging the unit.
