HI
I am new to this forum and actually new to this type of computer assistance but you were recommended by a friend.
To wit. I have a Poulan chain saw, model 2775 which will not start and of course will no longer run. I was using the tool last weekend to remove some rather unsightly overgrown evergreen bushes - stems were about 2 inches in diameter. I managed to get rid of 1 and 1/3 of these. I first removed bush number 1, turned the saw off with the switch and let it rest. About half an hour later I started on bush 2, the saw started and ran fine. Nearly 1/3rd thru I had to move around behind so I turned the saw off, cleared out the newly cut branches and put them in the pile. I picked up the saw, turned the switch on, and choked it half way as I had done about 20 times before.
WOE! This time the bloody toy (technical operating yunit - the 'Y' is silent) would not start.
I checked the gas - 1/2 tank
I removed the plug, it was a little wet so I cleaned it off, pulled the rope a few times hoping to clear anything in the chamber and put the plug back in.
NO LUCK.
I checked the air filter and it was clean.
Still no luck, it still wouldn't start.
The next day, I poured out the old gas and filled the tank 3/4 with new fuel mixed with appropriate ratio of oil, changed the spark plug (and checked the gap). I also made sure to top off the chain lube chamber.
I pulled the cord over and over and tried and tried but to no avail.
I did check that the switch was in the on position.
Please help if you can -- thanks in advance.
