Appealing to those with experience working on 441. While I consider myself mechanically incline for whatever reason this one has me stumped. I purchased the saw, ran fine during test run, and got it home and nothing. Historically I've had good luck buying used.
Couple of notables. I am using purchased premixed fuel. The saw has steady spark. Compression is 122. I have pulled the plug to use starting fluid and fuel is getting into the carb. I cleaned the carb and found no notable debris. I did reinstall a new rubber intake as the old one had been repaired with shoe glue. I noticed the crankcase bolt near the lower right carb for the cylinder base was loose, but it had no change to compression once tightened. I replaced the impulse hose as I noticed a small crack in the line. I checked the gap of the ignition with a playing card for good measure. I ordered a new ignition too, should be here in a week.
I appreciate the help and feel awkward asking as I should be able to figure this one out.
Thanks everyone for the help. I really appreciate the site and the content!
