[QUOTE="Chris-PA, post: 5832072, member: 67290"] Neither a vent problem or vapor lock will prevent a cold saw from starting, especially if the cap's been loosened to vent the tank. The purge bulb is pumping fuel and not drawing air, so the lines and check valve must be OK. That does not mean it can deliver fuel to the outlet ports, so the idle circuit could be blocked. The ignition coil could have failed. Plug could be bad. - lots of possibilities. Still, this was a relatively new saw that was running OK, although it was reconditioned. While possible, it seems unlikely something just failed, more likely something that happened to it. [/QUOTE]
