Happy to be posting for the first time on this site. Long time lurker, first time poster.
I bought a brand new Husqvarna 372 X-Torq in 2021 and have probably cut around 8 chords of wood with it so far. The saw has been my primary for the entire tree processing workflow: felling, limbing, and bucking. I absolutely baby this thing as firewood collecting has become something of a hobby - something fun to do to get outside on the weekends. I clean it after ever time out, and only run Husqvarna/Stihl brand gas through it. Furthermore - I don't keep gas in it for long and make sure to run it until it's out of fuel for storage.
Leading up to this moment, this thing has been one of the easiest starting saws that I have ever run. Switch on, choke out, push decomp in, three pulls produces combustion, choke back in, one more pull and the saw is running. With that said, last weekend I went out to collect some more wood and followed the standard starting procedure and was surprised to find that I couldn't get this thing to start. Figured that I must have (for the first time) flooded it and let it set for 24 hours. Came back the next day and had the same issue, could not get the thing to start (or even kick).
So thus begins the order of problem solving operations. Here's what I have done so far.
1. Took the spark-plug out and grounded it to the case - saw spark
2. Poured about 1 teaspoon (for volumes, I think in metric so .5mL) of gas down into the cylinder and couldn't get combustion
3. Checked the gas tank and the fuel line/filter don't seem to be pinched, but it is slightly twisted. I can elaborate on this if necessary.
4. Observed that after pulling and pulling (with the choke in/out) I never smelled fuel from the saw.
I'm hoping that there's a simple fix here and that you seasoned folks may have a solution.
Thanks for your help guys, I really appreciate it.
