In 1989 my father picked up a new Husky 50 and I have since stole it from his garage so to speak. A couple weeks ago he brought to his small engine dealer and they worked it over and it was running when it left the shop.
Of course now when I need it I cannot for the life of me get it to start, I have pulled the spark plug a couple times and wiped it clean, while it was out I slowly cycled the engine by pull the start cord to vent the cylinder. Heck I even stuck in a new plug.
I'd like to think starting a damn chainsaw wasn't that complicated but it seems like I'm trying to launch the space shuttle here.......
Simple stuff, chain break on, switch in run position vs. stop, throttle loced, choke open..........pull my brains out and nothing. Tried with the brake on and off assuming that it had some saftety feature to prevent starting without the brake on............at least according to my father, I saw no mention of this in the manual.
I'm really starting to think I'm a moron..............
Any help?
Thanks
Steve
