Hopfully someone can troubleshoot this problem. My MS440 would not start. So i pulled the plug and added some fuel to the cylinder. I started and ran well. It restarted all day when warm, but once it cooled down it wouldnt start. Can anyone suggest what this might be? Carburetor maybe?
I use this saw for hunting and only use it once a year. I had fuel in it but I had put stableizer in it. Is it best to store the saw with no fuel if it sits unused this long?
