Hello everyone, I bought a used ms261cm (Mtronic) last october. I've ran the saw a couple of times and while it's running and cutting pretty well, I can't seem to start it in the "start" position. It keeps flooding. So after it pops in the "start" position (it should typically idle in the "start" position), I keep on pulling to the point of flooding, so I then put in the "run" position, hold the throttle and crank untill it finally unfloods and starts.
To try to fix the flooding problem, here's what have done up to now:
- Changed the spark plug
- Changed the gaskets and diaphragms in the carb
- Changed the solenoid (White)
- Changed the gas filter (Orange)
- Tried to reset the MTronic but it would not since it doesn't idle in the "start" position
- Fresh new gas
Saw still flooding when trying to start it in the "start-triangle" position
My next step was to check the spark and ignition module. So when I pull out the spark plug and ground it to the cylinder to check for spark, I get some spark only when I pull hard/quickly on the crank. In other words, I don't get spark if I do a "relaxed" pull (If that makes sense???).
So here I am, trying to figure out if my ignition coil is due and why is my saw still flooding? Any thoughts?
Cheers everyone
