Could be a metering valve issue in the carb. I have dealt with similar symptom by adjusting the metering lever.Plug is plenty wet, going to make sure the ignition system is all good and I don't have a sheared flywheel tomorrow. I say that because it's happened once or twice now where the cord won't retract and I have to pull pretty hard to get it unstuck, don't know if the pawls got stuck or what, but I will look into that tomorrow.
I thought about that too. It is currently adjusted to just a hair below the top of the carb with the oem spring. Is it supposed to be different than what I have it set at?Could be a metering valve issue in the carb. I have dealt with similar symptom by adjusting the metering lever.
That's probably fine. If it too high the valve won't seat and you will flood. If it's too low the valve won't open and not get fuel. I try to set them level with the carb body but they have some tolerance.I thought about that too. It is currently adjusted to just a hair below the top of the carb with the oem spring.

Ok, update on the no start situation. Checked a bunch of things, no ring catching, ect, still wouldn't fire. Then I switched the carb spring back to the one that came in it. Fired right up.The jets are pretty close to normal settings this time too. I only gave it a rough tune (waiting for a tach) and stuck it in some wood. I have only done a couple of cuts with it, but it's really starting to grow on me now that it is running. Well worth the time it took to put it together.
