er....out of interest, what did you check then?...wether it looked "nice"?


Just a thought we use a Mculloch 2 stroke chainsaw and it is very sensitive
to having more then the recommended 2 stroke oil . If you suspect that may
be the case take your plug out clean the deposits off the electrodes with a
brass brush then heat it over a gas flame for a minute or so ( wear thick
glove obviously) then refit while still hot prime the carb and have another
try at starting.
