Chainsaw Repair

Those damned starters can be as fickle as a teenaged prom queen.Don't oil them because all that does is attract little wood chips causing all kinds of problems.

Take the whole thing apart and make certain all the crud is blown out . What often is the problem is the tension on the bolt holding the starter drum in place .If it is too loose or too tight it will cause issues.You want just about one wrap of the drum passed full cord retraction on the take up spring .
