I have run into a few saws over the years that I could just never get to start. I had a 395xp that I finally gave up on. right now I have a Husqvarna 365 and a makita 510 (like brand new) that I cannot get to start. so what is the easiest procedure you follow?
1) check for spark? yes good spark
2) check fuel? new fuel but will not fire
3) add small amount of fuel to carb? no pop
4) add small amount of fuel to cylinder? no pop
5) obvious air leak? compression? do I need to take it a part and do vacuum/pressure test? check seals?
just wanted to know your procedure before I replace the carb
thanks
