Hello members my name is Rick. I just purchased a minty stihl 070 that was hardly ever used and paid alot to get it. I had the saw for 2 days and it ran like brand new. Not kidding this is a gem. Went to work and the boys got it out and knocked it off the front porch. It fell 3-5 feet and landed in a flower bed of soft dirt. No damage to the case or any parts I see. The saw will not start now. The plug is still good and gets great spark. Its getting fuel in the cylinder. The on-off switch still works. I removed the muffler and its all good. Compression is perfect and the piston moves as it should. The saw is getting fuel and I put a new plug in and still nothing? Nothing seems to be loose or broken. I have spent the last 2 nights trying to fix it and Im at my wits end. Im sick about this as I really love my new saw!! Anyone have any ideas please write me. I dont like to take my saws to the shop as it always cost me 300-500 to fix and make run! Its 40-60 in parts and 400 in labor. Thanks for any ideas you might have. Im an old semi retired tree man in Ohio. Rick
