Will a chainsaw run without the Exhaust/Muffler?

[CFOD]

I'm in the process of rebuilding a husky 45, has a new piston, carb rebuild, ignition coil, but still won't start. Will the lack of exhaust be causing it not to start? I've got compression, I've got a spark and The carb definitely smells like fuel, so this is all I can think of

Sure it will run with out one, pretty loud when they are screaming.

Have you tried a different plug, air filter clean?

Heck ya it will run. It won't run if it is flooded. It needs compression, fuel and air in the correct ratio, and spark in the correct voltage and at the right time. Figure it out.

Definitely not flooded. Think there might be an issue with fuel getting to the cylinder actually, although I'm not sure, that's all I can think of now

Well how hard is it to squirt a little mix directly into the carb?

Doesn't seem like it. "Well my saw doesn't run, time to hit the internet". I like common sense so my attitude is reflective on who does and does not use it, and how long they have been here (three days for you), and if I think they are going to contribute after they get help or just disappear. Sorry I am a curmudgeon.

As others have stated, it will run w/o the muffler attached.

And, a tree falling in the forest will make noise, even if no one is around to hear it.

I have taken the muffler off and started (or tried to start) stuff to eliminate a clogged muffler as the problem. Good hearing protection is advised, especially if you are in a closed-in place (garage, work shed, etc).

How much did you rebuild?
1. There are 2 types of ignition/flywheel, Electrolux & Phelon. They don't mix.
2. There are 2 keyways in the Electrolux flywheel at 90 degrees to each other. The one marked "4" is for the 40 & 45.

Didn't change the flywheel at all. However you might be able to help me with another issue. The springs on my 235 flywheel have basically given way, unravelled and now it won't pull, is that a new flywheel needed?

235 is way too new for me to have inside knowledge. I only have the IPL to go with and as it doesn't show part numbers for pawls, springs and pins, I think the answer is "yes".

Can you answer this question? If a man is talking and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

Yes

Had a go at putting fuel directly into the carb, still not even a HINT of a start, which is really weird. There's definitely compression. No idea whats going on

Did you put a little fuel directly into the cylinder and try it?

Yes, sadly, no luck

Gap between flywheel and module correct?

it's sparking like a mains socket so I assume so, I didn't know you could change it quite honestly
