I used the saw about two weeks ago to cut up a dead oak I felled in my yard and it did fine. Today I had another one to cut out on the edge of a field so I loaded up my stuff in the tractor cart to get the job done. When I was ready for the saw I put in fresh gas and bar oil and tried to start it and I never got a pop at all. I went over the starting procedure to make sure I had not overlooked something simple (I have been known to do that). What I do is set the choke at full, pump up the fuel bulb, and give it a pull or two, and usually it will pop, then I set the choke at at half and it starts to run then I take the choke to off, and it's running ready to cut, but today nothing at all. It's either not getting spark or fuel. I pulled it quite a bit and never smelled fuel, and I had cleaned out the air filter.
