There must be some bad chainsaw mojo around here... After some problems with my 20" craftsman saw, I took it back and got a 18" Husqvarna last week. I brought it home, added 2-cycle fuel and bar oil, and used it for about 10 minutes. It kinda sputtered out, and I couldn't get it started again.
I tried changing the fuel, in case the other stuff was too old. I tried messing with the choke and pulling the cord too many times to count in case it was flooded. I let it sit a week and tried again today. The engine sorta turned over (with full choke) for a second, but didn't start. That was it... the best I could get no matter how much I pulled. I did notice a small amount of fuel (an ounce or less) dripped from the engine casing, and I thought maybe it had to do with the choke.
I cut 6 bowl blanks with my 14" electric (NOT fun). Help! Any suggestions?
