372 wouldnt crank.what up.

[tony marks]

no nothin wrong with the saw. im taking one dead leaner out 35 inces or so. hickory.. i go to crank the 372 that i got from dan. the saws as sure as the sun coming up. she wont crank.i tried 20 minutes cause i was beginning to worry about my saw.
finally i said ,well guess not today.so i take it home set it up to find the problem ,and she cranks just like shes suppose to.well first i was confused as the saws so steady . then wondering, when she cranks 1st pull at home.
conclusion ,i just dont think i was suppose to take that leaner today ,for some reason.mabe i was gonna get hurt ,drop it on a nest of baby rabits.heck i dont know. ..in any case ill try again tommorrow . if the saw wont crank again. im clearing out o that place.. if yall knew how steady an dependable this saw is ,it mite make it easier to understand my wondering . whats up .
by the way dan thanks again for this saw. shes everything i could ask for.
ps by the way i aint a person inclined to look for signs an stuff. i try to keep it simple . but this did get my attention.

Sounds like it might have been flooded.

 

[spacemule]

Or have a bare spot in the kill switch wire.

Or it could be an omen! Or more likely what Space Mule said...

 

[tony marks]

yall all rite. but i swear this saw never has not started even if left put up for weeks.
justregular as the sun. mabe i did flood it. but i could go and try and flood it now ,and id guarantee she would crank after a few pulls. heck i spent 20 min or so trying yesterday.. just wasnt gonna crank until it got home. so just let it be ,what it was.
once had a fella pull the trigger on my squirl rifle . only problem was he was actin crazy and i was taking it away from him.in taking it from him it just got pointed rite in my face. the nut then pulled the trigger.. it missfired. i then fired the same round into a tree as i was shaken.it fired ,no problem. that as far as i know is the only time it ever misfired ever. i left it home when i left an dont know what happened to it. but that sort of thing will make u think.
by the way ,yes i whipped jimmys butt good. not an unusual thing in those days as jimmy was just not blessed with common sense.
