My o41 is not starting or firing. I have owned since new and it has always started on a couple pulls even when my rope was shortened to allow just a couple inches of pull.
I replaced the rope but then realized the recoil mechanism was also bad. Still started fine but was back to the short pull issue.
I bought a used fuel tank/recoil assembly and installed it a couple months ago. Very simple install and only requires 4 screws and disconnecting the fuel line and re-connecting.
Since the tank was empty of fuel and I had bought a new saw, I just checked the re-coil and set the saw in my basement not wanting fuel to go bad from sitting in tank.
My son wanted to borrow today and could not start after filling tank. I figured the fuel line might be empty so I put mix right in carb and still nothing. The plug when pulled looks fine, the "new" tank lets fuel to line when tipped that way. I am suspecting the toggle "kill switch" but I have removed and checked all wiring to it. No evidence of anything amiss.
Any thoughts?
